Measuring Change provides voluminous data substantiating the claim that students can and do experience personal formation in the context of Christian higher education. This volume is a one-of-a-kind, mixed-methods analysis of Canby Bible College (CBC) alumnae. By means of a three-part research instrumentation, CBC graduates assess and articulate the transformational journey they gained as a Bible Collegian. Ultimately, Measuring Change contends that Christian education should be more about personal transformation than information acquisition, thus making a robust case for the wide-scale implementation of "transformational outcomes" in Christian higher education.

Report
«Jeremy M. Wallace addresses the chasm that exists in institutions of higher education and in the church that centers on the need to quantify the «spiritual formation» that occurs in our faith communities. Much is done to ensure competencies, skill development, and knowledge, but much more is needed to intentionally shape their character. Wallace strategically defines our reality and proposes solutions that advance the «Kingdom of God».»-Guy Higashi, President, New Hope Christian College, Eugene, Oregon
