 SOARING ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES Dr. Stafford North, distinguished professor of Bible, has authored a new book on the history of Okahoma Christian entitled “Soaring on Wings Like Eagles: A History of Oklahoma Christian University.” The book traces Oklahoma Christian from its beginning in 1950 as a 97-student junior college in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to a 2,500-student, internationally-recognized university in Oklahoma City.This history includes chapters on the university’s presidents, faculty and staff, board of trustees, donors, students, and some of its successful alumni serving in various fields around the globe.The book recounts key decisions affecting the course of the university, its facilities, curriculum, and the story of its national academic accreditations. Other chapters detail the university’s athletic programs,musical and theatre presentations, and student life. The theme of the university’s strong religious commitment runs throughout the book, and two particular chapters focus on the university’s spiritual life and missionary spirit. Above all, Soaring on Wings Like Eagles is a story of success. From a struggling start, Oklahoma Christian has become important not only in the lives of the some 25,000 students who have attended, but also in the lives of those they have touched throughout the world. |
 Evangelizing Your Community Nashville: 21st Century Christian, 2007. Evangelizing Your Community provides practical ways to revive our hearts to be passionate once again about those who need Jesus. I appreciate how the book begins by building bridges to the community and then moves from there into building relationships that have eternal significance. Dr. North does well to remind us that ultimately it is God who leads the way in these efforts through His power and blessing as we bathe everything in prayer. I believe this book is a wonderful tool to equip church members, leaders and teachers to win souls for Christ. –Micah Hobbs, Community Outreach Minister, Memorial Road Church of Christ, Edmond, OKAn architect of evangelism and outreach, Stafford North is continually building on God’s foundation to design a blueprint for an ever-changing culture. This book will teach and guide congregations through a totally biblical model of outreach and evangelism. I highly recommend his material as a tool for practical and effective methods of expanding God s kingdom right in out own backyard. –James Waugh, minister, Hillsboro Church of Christ, Nashville, TN |
 Unlocking Revelation: Seven Simple Keys. Nashville: 21st Century Christian, 2002. Taken from originally six sermons, the book is laid out to be used as an in-depth group bible study that illustrates how seven keys can guide the astute reader to a clearer amillenial interpretation of Revelation. In the first lesson North explains that readers must understand the book’s use of symbolism, that what was written will “shortly come to pass”, that the book’s aim is to comfort persecuted Christians, and that many of the symbols are sufficiently identified. The book will not show the author engaging with contemporary critical readings of Revelation, but instead provides an easy to read and teach general approach to Revelation within the amillenial framework. At a time when many are mislead by the eschatology of the Left Behind series, Unlocking Revelation will shine a clearer light onto a frequently misunderstood book. John Harrison, Professor of Bible, Oklahoma Christian. |
 Like a Thief in the Night Nashville: 21st Century Christian, 2004.In response to increasing interest in “the last days” and prophecies about the kingdom, the rapture, antichrists, tribulation, Armageddon, and a thousand-year reign on earth, Dr. Stafford North provides a clear presentation of biblical truth on the subject. Will help anyone who wants to study the pre-millennial view or talk to people who hold pre-millennial beliefs. |
