From Martha Byington’s church school for five New York families in 1853; to the more than 6;700 elementary through college-level schools the church operates worldwide today; the history of Adventist education is a story of struggle; tenacity; faith; and blessing. In Passion for the World; by retired professor of history Floyd Greenleaf; gives readers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the growth of an identifiably Adventist system of schools. This book is an inspiring testimony to the power of God; and to the vision of true education.
