鈥淭his comprehensive history of Timothy Christian Schools offers a case study of Reformed Christian education and the challenges faced by these unique private schools. Swierenga has done readers a major service by enhancing the story with anecdotes, photos and memorabilia. A lengthy chapter focuses on the 1960s, when Timothy schools made national news over racial tensions and integration. Few Christian schools in North America can make local references to Al Capone and brushes with the mob. The book also describes the moral 鈥榙ustup鈥� at the high school over assigned readings, such as J.D. Salinger鈥檚 鈥榠mmoral鈥� novel, Catcher in the Rye. We need more books that replicate Timothy鈥檚 story in sister institutions, leading to broader generalizations about Christian schooling in North America.鈥�
