At the Blue Hole

History & Biography

“When struggling with church decline and exploring strategies for church growth, theologian Robert Webber understood that ‘the road to the future runs through the past.’ Jack Reese knows this well. With his gift for creative storytelling, Jack leads us on an enlightening journey through the past history of Churches of Christ. On this road, he discovers life-giving sources of renewal and hope for the future. I have taught the history of Churches of Christ for many years. If asked to teach it again, I would definitely include At the Blue Hole in the required reading list.”

Wisdom, Faith, and Service

“Wisdom, Faith, and Service is the inspiring saga of Bushnell University, a Christian college founded in the nineteenth century whose administrators, faculty, and alumni have not abandoned their Christian roots during the past five generations. This is an enlightening story of how wisdom, faith, and service came to define and personify the institutional vocation and mission of a thriving Christian educational institution in the twenty-first century.”
