In this book Jerry Hildebrand has chronicled the sixty year history of Steinbach Bible College. It is well researched, honest and informative, extensively documented, and very readable. It begins with an overview of the local social, economic and religious milieu that provided a context for its early beginning. Next, Hildebrand traces the struggles related to accountability, as governance evolved over a period of decades from control by a society to ownership by a number of church conferences.
The highlight of this book is its characterization of the key leaders of the school during the six decades. It shows how the distinctive personality and vision of each one, including the inevitable conflicts, shaped the school's development.
The text of this volume is enhanced by the inclusion of a generous supply of photographs, as well as numerous personal stories and reflections of alumni and faculty. These "windows" contribute to the effectiveness of telling the SBC story.
