Book Cover & Preview Text
Dr. Martin learned that you cannot expect good results if you trade church fellowship for the fellowship found in academics. This is especially paramount in human securized education in which most of our bastions of higher education operate. The fires of good works is impressive in securized academics, but learning facts and probabilities based upon research can be deceptive and beguiling to the souls true need. Academics can demand an extraordinary amount of time, energy, loyalty, and devotion upon our passions.
Getting wrapped up in the nuances of the academic community is an easy thing to do. It has its own rewards attached to the pursuit of knowledge and fact finding that is enticing in a seductive kind of way. It is an environment that is invigorating and generally has an up-beat feel to it. However, with that said, it is also easy to drift in this environment and allow time to just get away. My advice to many that pursued this environment was to view it as a business proposition with a clear cut goal in mind-usually graduation day.

About the Book
This book is about the nuances of college life as viewed from a Christian perspective. Dr. Martin came to the conclusion that the quest for human knowledge is endless in its own seductive way. Our educational bastions are an arms length from the church; yet it appears the church is being neglected by many who labor in the halls of academics by their lack of participation in church. It is durable and manageable for one to participate in both the educational process and the church, however, these individuals are becoming a rare breed and that is why Dr. Martin challenges the educator to return to his/her spiritual roots. Dr. Martin asserts spiritual values are a reality and to be negligent here is without excuse.
