FORMER COUNSELING STUDENT

WRITES DELIGHTFUL BOOK

Have you ever made the statement that you should write a book?  Has anyone told you that your stories are so interesting that you should put them in a book?  Well, that is exactly what Terry Crague heard from friends and family over the years.  As a result, he decided to follow through and write a collection of stories that are very encouraging and delightful.  Some are sad, some are happy, and some are just stories about life with insight on how to live it.  All are tied in to the Gospel message or encouraging the Christian to live the abundant life.

Terry Crague resides in Aurora, Illinois and is a former student of Andersonville Theological Seminary.  He earned his Doctorate of Christian Counseling from the seminary and was licensed by the National Christian Counselor’s Association.  He and his wife have four grown children.  The Crague’s also had one little boy who has gone to be with the Lord, and Terry tells the story of what he and his wife experienced when they suddenly lost the child.  One day they were buying the child’s Christmas presents and the next day they were picking out his casket.  How could they get through this?  Terry tells the reader in his own words how they were able to go on with their lives.

If you would like to purchase the book, you can locate it on Amazon.

GOING TO ROMANIA

Kim Fenn, staff member at the seminary, is planning to go on a mission trip to Romania on December 15th through the 23rd.  She will be going along with 11 people from her home church, Union Grove Baptist Church.  The group will be visiting an orphanage and will be presenting the Christmas story in the form of a play twice a day.  The church has also been participating in Operation Christmas Child and will present a shoe box filled with gifts for a boy or girl to each child.  Kim is really excited and promises to take pictures and give us a report when she returns.
