Blessed Are the Balanced: A Seminarian's Guide to Following Jesus in the Academy Paul Pettit

Theological education can cool your love for the Lord. It?s sad but true. Learning that is not fully integrated into your daily life and patterns of living can lead to spiritual detachment. On the other hand, theological studies that are properly processed over time (with sufficient time for reflection and service) can aid your loving service toward God and others. As you enter into a theological program (seminary, divinity school, or other graduate studies), make a plan to help you balance the head knowledge with heart patterns. Blessed Are the Balanced will guide you as you learn to pursue both scholarship and the Kingdom.
