Greetings JBU Community:
For our 2010 freshman summer reading program, the JBU Reads committee selected Alan Paton's Cry, the Beloved Country. It is a beautifully touching story of brokenness and redemption in pre-Apartheid South Africa. We hope that you will enjoy reading the novel while watching World Cup Soccer (South Africa is the host nation).
Please read this blog throughout the summer. Every week, a new student will blog about his or her reading experience. We hope that you will engage the writer in dialogue by leaving lots of comments.
