Progress To Reconciliation: A Journey With Lewis, Bono, And Spider-Man, David M. Johnstone
Progress To Reconciliation: A Journey With Lewis, Bono, And Spider-Man, David M. Johnstone
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
Reconciliation is a word full of profound inferences. It has implications steeped in the biblical landscape, yet it is also challenging to define. Using Miroslav Volf‘s guidance, twentieth century fiction, and film and pop music icons, this article seeks to glimpse a deeper biblical vision of grace and reconciliation. Volf observes that “[t]o triumph fully, evil needs two victories, not one.” Reconciliation sabotages and steals that victory from evil. Forgiveness and reconciliation do not negate justice; they provide the opportunity to go beyond justice and retribution. Simply put, reconciliation allows a terrible situation to be redeemed.

Sexuality Among Evangelical College Women, Rachel Keener Killam, Heather Davediuk Gingrich
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
While some studies have examined the attitudes and perceptions of women with regard to their sexuality, none have investigated evangelical, female college students.

Academic Advising Models In Faith-Based Colleges And Universities, Roger D. Wessel, Jenni L. Smith
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
This study examined how academic advising is conducted among private, faith-based colleges and universities. In addition to developing a profile of academic advising at these campuses, academic advising organizational models used by these institutions were examined. Academic advising responsibilities at these institutions incorporated prescriptive and developmental advising methods. Seventy percent of the institutions utilized the “Faculty-Only” advising model. Benefits of using faculty members as advisors include the emphasis that private colleges place on faculty-student contact, enabling students to have a deeper relationship with their professors. Negative implications when utilizing faculty advisors include that they have other job responsibilities and priorities …
Gender Differences In Student Engagement Among Emerging Adults Attending A Small Faith-Based University, Melvin P. Shuster
Gender Differences In Student Engagement Among Emerging Adults Attending A Small Faith-Based University, Melvin P. Shuster
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
The single best predictor of the success of university sponsored student development activities is the degree to which the students are engaged in these activities (Kuh, 2007). Sax (2008) observes though that much of our understanding of the impact of the college experience is based on the study of students in the aggregate, with relatively little work done on how the college environment differentially influences men and women. The present work investigated gender differences among Emerging Adults (ages 18- 29) (Arnett, 2000) in their engagement of university sponsored activities at a small faith based university located in Northern California. The …
