'Still Shining: Barclay College as a Lighthouse' by Glenn W. Leppert chronicles the rich history and enduring mission of Barclay College, an evangelical Friends institution dedicated to Christian education. The book begins by exploring the college’s origins in 1917 as the Friends Kansas Central Bible Training School, with a clear purpose to teach the Bible and train workers for Christian service. Over the decades, Barclay College has undergone significant transformations, including two name changes, curriculum expansions, and a strategic rebranding in 1990 to attract a broader student base while maintaining its core mission.The narrative delves into pivotal moments in the college’s history, such as the pursuit of regional accreditation, efforts to expand its influence, and the remarkable growth of its online programs. It also highlights the establishment of graduate studies, illustrating Barclay’s commitment to providing advanced education within a biblical framework. Leppert further examines the college’s challenges and triumphs, including financial struggles and the 'Great Miracle' that helped sustain its operations. Leppert emphasizes Barclay College’s unwavering dedication to preparing students for effective Christian life, service, and leadership throughout the book. The author meticulously details how the college’s mission has evolved while remaining rooted in its evangelical Friends tradition, offering an environment that fosters academic and spiritual excellence.'Still Shining' continues the story that began in Sheldon Jackson’s 'Barclay College Lighthouse on the Prairies' and extends it from 1990 to 2023. It is a testament to Barclay College’s resilience and role as a beacon of Christian education, committed to shaping future generations of leaders grounded in faith.
