Description
God on Campus traces a remarkable legacy of spiritual awakening that stretches from the founding of the earliest colleges in the United States to a global movement of nonstop student prayer spreading across campuses today. This is a book to help you remember your roots' Trent Sheppard writes' ordinary people like you and me - - bold and timid' brilliant and insecure' disillusioned and dangerous' ambitious and naive' holy and fallen' fearless and afraid - - people who prayed' people who conspired together with their friends in faith and action' people who believed their lives could actually help shape the unfolding narrative of history. From the establishment of early American campuses during the Great Awakening to the rapidly spreading collegiate movements of the twenty - first century' Sheppard shows how students can integrate their passion in prayer with practical Christ - like living in culture. The goal' he explains' is not for us to abandon our studies in economics or education and all become preachers instead. The goal is to live like Jesus in the very soul of society.
