Description

As Kim Phipps, President, Messiah College, puts it, “Offering truth-filled candor and grace-filled insight, Snyder has written an engaging memoir on the way to speak to someone’s personal exploration and embrace of the vocational journey.” How does a Mennonite farm girl, whose “closed” Oregon community prescribed a limited role for women and distrusted education, finally end up a university president? Journey with Lee Snyder as as she explores the surprising and unexpected paths that opened her doors to education and leadership. “As profoundly religious as Thomas Merton and Kathleen Norris, as wise about leadership as Margaret Wheatley and Max DePree, Snyder has created an alabaster-box memoir out of which she pours a life-time of reading, revery, and relationship,” says Shirley H. Showalter, Vice-President­-Programs, Fetzer Institute. Meanwhile Ann Hostetler, Editor, A Cappella: Mennonite Voices in Poetry, believes that Snyder’s “beautifully written book shows how true leadership arises from the standard ingredients of on a regular basis life met with courage, faith, and imagination.” And Karen A. Longman, Professor of Higher Education, Azusa Pacific University, celebrates that “Snyder used to be a pioneer for many people as some of the first female chief academic officers. Here she combines her artistry with words and a life-time of experiences.”
