A number of prestigious publications have made note of his blog, which is apparently one of the only university president blogs in the nation written by the president himself. On his blog site, Dr. Brown shares his personal news — like details about his daughter’s trip to Kenya — and keeps readers informed of events happening at Cedarville. He also uses his blog to share his thoughts on current trends or news topics, like The DaVinci Code and the Gospel of Judas. “My blog is not about me, but about a lot of the things I am thinking about and working on,” he noted.
