--Parker J. Palmer, author, The Courage to Teach, Let Your Life Speak, and A Hidden Wholeness
"This book provides important pathways into the
reconsideration of the purposes and practices of higher education,
illuminates the landscape, and will inspire the ongoing renewal of
a conversation that lies at the heart of the professoriate."
--Sharon Daloz Parks, author, Big Questions, WorthyDreams:
Mentoring Young Adults in Their Search for Meaning, Purpose, and
Faith
"What colleges and universities provide in terms of
intellectual, cultural, and physical resources has little lasting
value unless students integrate what they experience in meaningful,
personally relevant ways. This timely, much-needed volume from
three consummate educators who’ve traveled this territory is
a powerful reminder of why we are here in the first place. They
write as they live–with powerful conviction and purpose
– and cause us to rethink what we do and why we do it."
--George D. Kuh, coauthor, Student Success in
College
"We should all welcome this comprehensive exploration of the
meaning and purpose underlying the education of our
students."
--Graham Spanier, president, Pennsylvania State University
"Encouraging Authenticity and Spirituality in Higher
Education is a thorough and insightful book on spirituality and
education that provides a rare blend of research, theoretical
scope, and application. Careful to make the distinction between
religion and spirituality that includes religious and nonreligious
paths to meanings, Encouraging Authenticity argues for the
urgency of educating the whole student without indoctrination and
through the enhancement of existing academic values and
programs."
--Larry D. Shinn, president, Berea College
