Each
generation of high school and college graduates faces a new set of
challenges. Yet a close look at history reveals that these
challenges are in many ways similar to those faced in America's
early years--and that the same vision, passion, and goals needed
then would serve us well today.
In American
Commencement, Home School Legal Defense Association Chairman and
Patrick Henry College Chancellor Michael Farris examines 17
historic commencement speeches with timeless messages. "The
educators, pastors, parents, and leaders who addressed the
graduates wanted to deeply impress upon the young people how
important it was to remain true to God and His Word," writes
Farris. "And there is absolutely no doubt that America needs future
leaders whose character and convictions parallel those of these
early American graduates."
Whether
you're a graduating student, homeschooling parent, or a leader,
this book is for you! American Commencement chapters include
"Principles of Greatness: John Witherspoon," "Folly of
Intellectualism: Timothy Dwight," "The Value of Art: John
Wheelock," "Consecrated to God: William Smith," and 13 other
messages delivered to early American graduates. You'll be as
challenged and inspired as those first listeners!
