Christ-Centered Higher Education: Why It Matters Today More Than Ever
What is so special about a Christian college or university? What does Jesus Christ have to do with the university? What is the deep connection between faith and learning? How is a Christian education unique? Why is the Western university in a state of crisis? What are the advantages of a Christian liberal arts education? How can we preserve the uniqueness of this kind of education? And finally, how can students get the most out of this kind of education? This is a very important conversation about higher education that took place between four college presidents: Philip Ryken, president of Wheaton College; Albert Mohler, president of Southern Theological Seminary and Boyce College; Barry Corey, president of Biola University; and Donald W. Sweeting, president of Colorado Christian University. The conversation is about a topic that has only grown more timely due to the events unfolding before our eyes. The topic is “Christ-centered higher education: why it matters today more than ever.”
How to Finish the Christian Life
The second half of life is not what it used to be. People are living longer and retiring later, but often without a vision for this part of the journey. This book, co-written by George and Don Sweeting, is about following Jesus in the second half — about how to finish the Christian life.
Endorsements for How to Finish the Christian Life
“What a wonderful, helpful and wise book! I’m an old, cynical preacher and this book makes me less cynical and far more wise about my life and my own journey to the ‘finish line.’ But this isn’t just a book for old folks. It’s a book about life and how to live it. Read it and give it to everyone you know!”
— Steve Brown, author of “Three Free Sins” and “Scandalous Freedom,” Bible teacher, talk show host on Key Life radio, and professor emeritus at Reformed Theological Seminary
“Only Christians can fully live now until we’re fully alive then! With uncomfortable realism and unflinching hope, the Sweetings show us how.”

“My longtime friend George Sweeting and his son, Don, have teamed up to write a spiritual gem on how to finish the Christian life. At age 72, the book hit home with me big time. That’s why I finished it in one sitting.”
