Publisher Description: "A gifted story teller, Harold Heie narrates the experiences of a lifetime as college teacher and administrator that taught him the way of peaceful and respectful conversation. His story is fascinating, his wit and wisdom priceless, his advice seasoned and sane. Inviting us into conversations he creates, he shows how it is done, and pleads with us to do likewise." "Harold Heie treats us to an always-engrossing personal tale that speaks to everyone. Heie has a dream (we see it take shape), but he convinces us that openness to other visions-respectful conversation among us all-is vital for any earthly good that lies ahead. Heie's eloquent plea for commitment and openness will prove contagious and revolutionary." "Harold Heie writes with conviction, clarity, grace and humility, blending rich personal narrative with intellectual and spiritual force. This book should be required reading for all faculty, administrators, staff and trustees who are leaders in Christian higher education. Beware It may change your view of leadership." "Truth be told, the Truth is not in us. But it has found a good home in its servant, Harold Heie. He embodies his own teaching." |
