by Timothy W. Herrmann, Kirsten D. Riedel (Editor)

Despite the widely differing perspectives held by those who work in higher education, there is one goal upon which all educators and educational leaders students should leave college stronger than they came. Now more than ever, today s students come to college with unique intellectual, emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges. They need more than appropriate curricula, programs, facilities, and resources. Educating college students well requires a concern for and commitment to a holistic vision of their care. This volume examines the calling that Christian educators in both curricular and cocurricular settings share in relation to the students they serve. Join this unique blend of experienced practitioners and researchers, including Miroslav Volf, Sharon Daloz Parks, and John Foubert, in considering how we can best nurture our students toward health, wholeness, and purpose.

A great monograph on caring for college students. I think that any person who cares for colleges students, whether a student development professional at a college, a college campus ministry staff, or a church staff would benefit from reading.

I love the various voices from the field.and academy included in this book. As several voices have stated in support.of this book, the various writers remind us (student development professionals) of the necessity of holistic care of our students.

I especially appreciate the nod to college campus ministry in chapter seven, as I have often thought that campus ministry outside Christian Higher Ed is forgotten by Christian student development professionals.
