{"product_id":"marking-the-jesus-road-russell-matthew-lawson-9780977244805","title":"Marking the Jesus Road: Bacone College through the Years","description":"This is the story of Bacone College, founded as Indian University in 1880. Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, reached out to the American Indians of Oklahoma and beyond to provide a Christian liberal arts education. The initial goal of the college was to train missionaries, but as time passed the college embrace students from dozens of tribes to provide a primary, secondary, and college education. Bacone College recently closed in its 145th year due to mismanagement and poor decision-making by administrators and trustees. But its legacy remains for those thousands the school educated over so many years. It was a school that showed that missionary work to the American Indian did not have to be brutal and heart-rending, rather a good, productive experience that many alumni looked fondly back on. The narrative is told with an emphasis on the stories of those students over the many decades: their learning, their writings, their general experiences in this small college in Creek Nation, Oklahoma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Matthew Lawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0977244806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780977244805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Russell Matthew Lawson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443125137663,"sku":"9780977244805","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c431379c-6eaf-4f8d-bc00-61eff3c6c5cf.jpg?v=1777202009","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marking-the-jesus-road-russell-matthew-lawson-9780977244805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
