There was an almost inevitable quality to John Bowling’s success — not because things were handed to him easily, nor because his baritone voice and pensive temperament came straight out of Hollywood casting. (A student once told me she imagined he smelled like leather-bound books!) No, John’s success seemed inevitable because God designed him for this work and John nestled humbly in God’s hand. Then we all got to see what comes from a skilled and consecrated life. Dr. Gregg Chenoweth ’90 President-Elect, Olivet Nazarene University
