Sometimes described as "people of the book," Christ-followers the world over have found Scripture to offer life-giving words. What is true of any number of Christian institutions is also true of Baylor University and of Baylor's Truett Seminary—various verses from the Bible, meant to upbuild the community, are strategically (and hopefully, tastefully!) displayed on their campuses. This valuable volume, replete with images, contains ten sermons preached by Truett Seminary faculty and staff on biblical passages explicitly cited or referenced at the school's Baugh-Reynolds campus in Waco, Texas. These messages illustrate how "the Word" can be skillfully employed to punctuate and animate a community's life together.
