About This Book
GREAT FUTURES: 25 years of Christian Education in Bethlehem 1988 to 2013. Author Jeanette Knudsen worked at Bethlehem College for 21 years and knows her subject well. Great Futures traces the exciting development of the campus in Tauranga over its first 25 years.

It then traces the struggles of the pioneering days and the growth into secondary schooling, followed by the establishment of other operations. These include tertiary studies at the Bethlehem Institute of Education, and the five pre-school centres. The book presents the personal contribution of many involved, like the founding principal, Graham Preston and major benefactors Keith and Margaret Relf. This is the modern-day true story of God at work in New Zealand’s world of education. Hard cover, colour photos. For sale from Bethlehem College Finance office, $25.00
