I just got done reading the first chapter of this book, a lot of my friends have told me how good this book is back up at college, but I never got around to reading it until now. The first chapter was an amazing chapter on what revival looks like on campuses, because I think as students today we don't have really any understanding of what that REALLY looks like. But the author did a great job of explaining to me about what that looked like. Just some stuff I decided to highlight in the first chapter was where the author says.... "We have dealt Christ a more damaging blow. We have not killed Him, but we have made Him boring." I think that is so true, and that statement is summed up so well in our churches today and so many other places. What I also found interesting because of the history class I took this past semester on Luther and Calvin and how that originated from in the early 16th century is that, that is where the first TRUE revival happened, but it was on a college campus in Germany! I think for me the biggest thing that grabbed me, even though I knew this was that... "Though the university comprises of only 1 percent of the world's population almost every military, political, religious, athletic, cultural leader will arise from the student population."This Chapter really made me think what I was doing on my campus and what the Lord wants me to be doing when I make my journey up at Chico and get involved up there. I would encourage you to keep reading, if you guys&girls want to understand leadership, each campus had a leadership that the Lord used and you are it for your campus. So keep reading and highlight the book! that's what I do, I use a highlighter and pen so I know what was good and stuck out for me. But I want to know what you think so either comment on here or email me (Scottyoung.jc@gmail.com) and I will be doing the same thing for the next chapter, but email me or comment, anything you want, questions, opinions, what jumped out to you, i'd love to know!
God Bless!
