Reflect on the Books That Shaped Their Lives


Discover the books that have influenced the thinking of over 100 dedicated teachers from one of the country´s foremost Christian liberal arts institutions. If you believe that education should continue after college and throughout life, this book is for you. Written especially for college graduates and avid readers, Reading for Life provides helpful direction from trustworthy guides who teach across the disciplines.
