Living Spiritually in the Material World

by Lewis M. Andrews Ph.D.

Overview

"Few appreciate the connection between higher education and the higher authority of the divine, but now comes Lewis Andrews with this fascinating study of early college presidents in U.S. history and how their deep faith nurtured their work as our nation's top educators. They not only educated our Founders; they also provided useful guidance for spiritual wisdom which Andrews translates for today's modern audience." —Mike McCurry, professor/director, Wesley Theological Seminary and former State Department/White House spokesman (1993-98)

Editorial Reviews

Living Spiritually in the Material World goes beyond self-help to real personal transformation.

president, General Dynamics Faith and Hope Employee Resource Group - Tony Ingle

With wisdom and spiritual teachings from America's earliest college presidents, Lew Andrews has given us a thoughtful book of lessons to help make sense of today's turbulent and confusing times.

chief operating officer, New York Presbyterian Hospital - Dr. Laura Forese

Living Spiritually in the Material World is very important; dealing with faith in the US specifically from a cultural and historical perspective. Well researched and thoughtful efforts to bring to light what we can all sense but didn't have the objective perspective.

chairman, OneAccord Capital - Jeff Rogers

A willed ignorance of the importance of faith weakens our democracy. In Living Spiritually in the Material World, Lewis Andrews sketches out what could make our communities stronger: faith, community, civility.

former member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board and author of Coolidge - Amity Shlaes

An engaging and enlightening book that combines the moral and spiritual wisdom of previous generations of college and university presidents in America with findings of contemporary psychology. The author combines spiritual and theological reflection with substantive analysis, as he seeks to address ten specific issues related to Living Spiritually in the Material World.
