A Journey of Grace: The Formation of a Leader and a Church
Herbert W. Chilstrom gives the reader a front-row seat to the birthing of a national church body, and a window into the life of a remarkable Augsburg College graduate who is a grace-filled man of faith and a church leader. His gratitude for the enlightening influence of several of his professors is obvious in the book, and he says it was at Augsburg that he learned that only by understanding history can we comprehend the world today. At Augsburg also, Chilstrom was awakened to issues such as racism, anti-Semitism, and peace and justice, and he has come to believe that there is no better seedbed for growing peace in the world, particularly among people of different faiths, than a liberal arts college. --Augsburg College Spotlight, November 2011 e-newsletter
