(Gromacki Takes Part In Prestigious
Swindoll Series
Several years ago, Chuck Swindoll, president
of Dallas Theological Seminary and host of
Christian radio's In Touch, invited Dr. Robert
Gromacki to write a book on the Holy Spirit.
The book would be part of the Swindoll
Leadership Library series. Dr. Gromacki, who
serves as distinguished professor of Bible
and Greek at Cedarville College, accepted
the invitation and produced The Holy Spirit:
Who He Is, What He Does, released in the
fall of 1999. The Holy Spirit is the
sixteenth installment in the 30-book
Swindoll Leadership Library series. "I am
extremely honored and full of joy at the
same time that Chuck Swindoll and Word
Publishing asked me to write this book,"
Dr. Gromacki shared.
In his book, Dr. Gromacki sets out to direct laypeople in a practical, biblical
understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit. "In the hearts of Christians
today," Dr. Gromacki noted,"the two most common reactions to the Holy
Spirit are fear or fascination. Either reaction is extreme." The Holy Spirit leads
the reader from Bible verse to Bible verse, looking at what the Holy Spirit has
to say about Himself and issues such as "Should Christians speak in tongues
today?" and "Can we lose the Holy Spirit?"
Currently in his 40th year of teaching at Cedarville College, Dr. Gromacki
has written 15 books, including Are These the Last Days?and Salvation is
Forever. He currently pastors Grace Community Baptist Church in Washington
Court House, Ohio, and resides in Springfield, Ohio, with his wife, Gloria.
More information about ordering The Holy Spirit can be found at
or at your local Christian bookstore.

Engineers Earn
National Acclaim
Cedarville College engineering
students' efforts to enhance the
performance of an ethanol-burning
Chevrolet have captured the attention
of automobile enthusiasts from
around the country. The February
2000 issue of Car and Driver
magazine features the College's
participation in a contest sponsored
by General Motors, the U.S.
Department of Energy, and Natural
Resources Canada.
Students from 14 colleges and
universities across the United States
and Canada competed against one
another to modify a stock Chevrolet
Silverado to best run on E85 alcohol,
a mixture of 85 percent alcohol and
15 percent gasoline. The teams
worked for several months designing
and implementing their modifications.
Last spring, the teams transported
their vehicles to Milford, Michigan,
where they underwent a battery of
tests ranging from emissions and fuel
economy to cold-starting and
acceleration. According to Car and
Driver, Cedarville was one of two
schools whose teams came up with
the most creative modifications.
The magazine cited teams from the
University of Nebraska and Cedarville
for "a surprising degree of
refinement." The periodical also
reported that the Cedarville entry
took top honors in acceleration.
The Silverado modified by the
Cedarville College engineering
students was also selected for display
at the North American International
Auto Show. This premier automotive
trade show was held in Detroit's Cob
Center January 15-23.
