New alumni books in the college bookstore:

  • Author Haldyne "Halee" Spriggins, class of '48, wrote True Gold in Congo, a single missionary's discoveries. As you read the account of her adventures and trials, you will laugh, cry, and be truly blessed by this amazing lady. Her second book, Goshen, is another adventure in her retirement. If you have not already learned to speak to God and listen for His answers, you will certainly get the message here.

  • Author Arlene Troyer, class of '61, wrote LaGonave Island Beloved. In 1949, Levi Troyer took his family to Haiti. This is a story of three generations of trials and blessings in their ministry there.
