| Publisher Description: Leaving behind the familiarity of his home church, Adam J. Coffman graduated from high school and entered a Christian university in order to train for vocational ministry. What Adam did not realize at the time, was that he was taking his first steps on a nine year odyssey that would lead him to people, places, and situations that he could have never fathomed would be involved in his training as a missionary and minister.Adam's account of his journey through Kentucky Christian University paints a picture of formal academic ministry training that would astound the average Sunday morning church attendee. The story of his crossing through the waters of Christian academia is full of lessons learned the hard way, and deals candidly with issues that are often not discussed within the realm of evangelical academic circles. Beginning in 1997, and taking him through 2006, Crossing KCU covers a wide range of experiences that find their common ground and anchor only within the timeless boundaries of Scripture. Broken up by semesters spent away from the school for a variety of reasons, Adam carefully and painfully guides us through a series of events that took him from being an unsuspecting high school senior, to a campus minister and missionary. Along the way we read of his personal interactions with the institution that is both the antagonist and instrument of his formal Christian education, taking him through many phases of spiritual growth that must inevitably be the fate of anyone who chooses to follow Jesus Christ as Lord. |
