I was sent to Prairie for grade 9. Sometimes I have said that this was my "salvation", Rescued from a difficult family situation, being at Prairie, even with all those rules, was like a liberation for me. From the first day, to my graduation from Bible School 10 years later, I was riveted by the truths presented by Mr. Maxwell.
With his "more think and less ink" some of the things he said came across like a brand new revelation, and there were also sleepers, that worked their way into your thinking over time. Let's put together our recollections of those days. What impressed you? Maybe we could eventually categorize our comments. There probably is a better method than this blog. Send your ideas. My idea is to take your comments and pass them into new posts. Rather than quote from his books and biographies, let's pick our memories. Although this is mainly for former students, maybe the Maxwell family could give some inside information.
Let's hear from you.
Those of us who had the privelege of studying under Mr. Maxwell probably have a lot of memories of his teaching that don't appear in the books by him or about him. Things he said and did. Let's share these. We are not only honoring his memory, but also keeping a record of his unique spirit-filled teaching. Without much experience I've simply opened this blog, hoping for your comments, which I will transform into posts. Better ideas welcomed.
