I believe that I was well-prepared as a result of my undergraduate studies. I was fortunate to have good teachers who provided advice and guidance in addition to high-quality instruction. I remain in contact with the professor whom I consider to be my mentor and the most important influence in my life as a musician. He still is willing to offer advice and support, and I am deeply grateful to him for that.

I had no trouble getting into a top-notch graduate school. Other PCC graduates applied to this same school, and were not accepted there. So what does that say about the fact that PCC is not accredited? Maybe those who complain about it are just hiding their own imcompetence. After all, college is really what you make it, regardless of what college you attend.

Unfortunately, I found the attitude of many in administration very difficult to accept. I know that submission to authority is Biblical, but it often seemed strange to me that those in authority were so unlike the Christ of my (KJV) Bible. Yet they claimed to be under the authority of God, who placed them in a position of authority over us . . . and suddenly we didn't seem to be much different than my Catholic friends.

It saddens me when I read the publications that PCC sends to its alumni. I regularly receive some video or book that preaches their obsession with the KJV. I wonder what they would say to those in Germany who still read Luther's translation? Would that be acceptable, or should they be reading a German translation of the KJV?

I would advise anyone considering PCC to think carefully before making their decision. I know many who thrived there. I also know some whose lives were shattered, when they could have been healed.

Choose wisely.
