Throughout my career, I have assumed roles of helping organizations navigate their successes and challenges for the greater good—while staying on mission. This began two years into my first faculty role at APU, selected to direct the key assessment group of religious instruction (addressing process theology issues); at Museum of the Bible it was the complex challenges of evangelicals in secular spaces (and a major ethical breach by a UK scholar); for the Green family (Hobby Lobby) it was finding a recipient for their massive D.L. Moody campus in Northfield, MA amidst a community unfriendly to evangelicals (we also started the Moody Center on part of the campus, including Moody’s homestead); at the Religion News Service it was terminating the editor as we addressed the stark realities of media finances and changing directions (in 2019 we won a $4.9m grant to merge with AP). For the Christian Scholar’s Review (associate publisher), it has been the shift to more social media (and maintaining our healthy $100,000 balance). For Books & Culture (CT) it was finding finances to help extend its operations. We (special advisory group) were able to secure enough to sustain it for an additional eight years before the model proved unstainable for CT.

Since accepting Christ as my Savior at the Frankfort church camp in 1975, I have constantly pursued Him and enjoy His fellowship. I continue to grow, endorse the Nicene Creed, and write openly about my beliefs in the local and national press. A key verse for me is 2 Tim. 2:2. Various of my books discuss this.

Jerry Pattengale has become a transformational leader in higher education, creating a new image and model for purpose-centered education.

Edward P. St. John
Algo D. Henderson Collegiate Professor of Education, University of Michigan

 

A great teacher and a great teacher of teachers, Jerry Pattengale is a true believer that teaching and learning can change lives, the lives of both students and teachers. In a world where it is easy to blame teachers, students or colleges for what education does not do, Jerry embraces teachers, students, and even colleges in possibilities. His enthusiasm reminds us all of what teaching and learning can rightly mean in the world.

Patrick E. White
President Emeritus, Wabash College

 

Jerry Pattengale writes thoughtfully and uses language carefully. He rewards his audience with a good read every time. (2015); The best writing of the bunch. Clever mixing of sports and politics. The writer demonstrated a deep knowledge of both topics (2016, 1st Place).

A pithy and powerful exploration of the notion of objectivity, which will be welcomed by all students of biblical history and interpretation.

I have witnessed first-hand how the practical applications in this fascinating little book [Why I Teach] can transform a campus. It’s a short read with long-term possibilities!

Henry Smith
Former President and Chancellor, Indiana Wesleyan University

Dr. Jerry Pattengale shares his sage guidance and passion for teaching in this highly accessible, inspirational, and thoroughly enjoyable book [Why I Teach]. It is a must read for anyone who is committed to making a difference in the classroom and, ultimately, the lives of the college undergraduates that they teach.

Andrew K. Koch.. John N. Gardner Institute in Undergraduate Education Exec. V. P. and Chief Academic Leadership and Innovation Officer

 

I first contacted Jerry (by email) after reading one of his “Buck Creek Chronicles” articles in the Lafayette Journal & Courier last Christmas Eve. As a Buck Creek farm-boy myself (almost ten years older than Jerry) I was impressed with his memory of Buck Creek details. His response included a link to his articles; several of which I downloaded and began to read. Jerry’s writings have made a big difference in my life since then, both from a business perspective and from a personal (Christian) perspective. After more than 20 years of managing both private and public manufacturing businesses for others, including several very-successful turnarounds, I moved back “home” to Indiana and bought my own small manufacturing company, which stayed small and struggling until 2003. Jerry’s articles about the Life Wedge helped me to refocus my business with wonderful results: sales growing from a $400,000/year rate to a $2,400,000/year rate in little more than a year.

Dr. Jerry Pattengale served as a consultant to Lee University as we prepared a complex, institution-wide grant proposal resulting in a $2 million award. He was instrumental in focusing the planning committee on Lee’s key issues and strengths as we developed the project. His skill as an objective reviewer was extremely valuable as we fine-tuned the proposal, and his extensive grant writing experience helped us to improve our proposal in a variety of areas, from content to formatting to budget preparation. Not only that, but Dr. Pattengale’s accessibility (critical when using an out-of-town consultant) and easy-going style made working with him on the project a real pleasure.

Jerry Pattengale is a well-trained ancient historian who draws freely from his specialization to illustrate his major points in this booklet [A Brief Guide to Objective Inquiry], and he presents his case in an engaging, even sprightly, manner.

William C. Ringenberg, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus, Taylor University (IN)

 

Dr. Pattengale’s workshop on grant writing was one of the best that I have ever attended. I found this workshop uniquely useful for a number of reasons: Dr. Pattengale clearly showed the relationship between grantsmanship and scholarship, making the subject matter extremely relevant and interesting to faculty and staff. His presentation style and format made everyone feel confident and comfortable about the grant process and I was amazed at his ability to bring the best out of everyone so quickly and so easily. Among those who attended the workshop, there were people who had never attempted grant writing. Some of them are now beginning to write proposals. Not only that, I am noticing a new enthusiasm about grants on this campus that has become really contagious. Besides, as the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Texas A&M University-Commerce, the person responsible for research and grants, I found his exit interview and follow-up report absolutely invaluable.

 

Mathew Kanjirathinkal, Ph. D.
Former Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, Texas A&M University-Commerce

 

It’s one of the best responses that I’ve seen to anything in this community. . . . There are a lot of people who talk about grants. Getting them and getting them consistently is different. It’s like hitting a homerun. Jerry would be in the top one [percent] nationally.

Quote taken from The Chronicle Tribune (12/09/02)

 

Just wanted to send you a quick email and tell you how much I appreciated your class last year. While some of my peers have really struggled with their research and writing assignments, they come quite naturally for me. My legal writing prof recently asked me if I was a writing major in undergrad! I immediately told him no, but I mentioned this great history seminar class I took my senior year 😉 . . . . Basically, I just wanted to encourage you and tell you that I attribute any writing skill that I may have to your class last year—one of the most beneficial classes for grad school. . . . . One of my writing samples actually got me a job this summer clerking for a federal judge. Thanks for everything you do!

Reading Jerry Pattengale is my favorite form of therapy. It’s cheaper than psychoanalysis—and a lot more fun.

John Wilson
Former Editor, Books and Culture

 

Jerry has a way of seeing life lessons through everyday life that others overlook. He does it in such a lighthearted way that you can’t help but enjoy the journey. His book will cause your mind to think and your heart to smile.

Most golfers are way too serious, worrying about pausing on the backswing or yipping with the putter. Jerry Pattengale captures the fun side of golf, mixed in with some solid lessons of life and wisdom.

To many Hoosiers, Jerry Pattengale has become the Garrison Keillor of their beloved state. Take, read, smile, laugh and when done, leave Jerry’s work on the doorstep of a hardened enemy (if need, I fear I can loan you one or two). You’ll soon make a friend and experience a good measure of the Christmas joy reflected in these pages.
