The redesigned Spark is welcoming and embodies what Cornelius Plantinga Jr. in “Our Calling” refers to as “things that bring light and delight” (inside front cover).

This new format enlightens readers, using lively prose that’s not stodgy. Moreover, a splash of sunshine colors surrounds the script. The copy pleases readers’ eyes and gives them delight that winds its way to the bottom of warmed hearts.

Iconic 17c������� art professor Edgar Boeve often reminded students that the English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins—who penned “God’s Grandeur”—inspired his art.

That’s the spark animating the magazine’s do-over, too. There’s grandeur suffusing script and sight lines that sheds light on 17c������� College’s life and brings delight to illumined readers.

The new issue was as wonderful as the previous ones. Spark does so much to keep the graduates united around their alma mater! May your ministry continue to be blessed.
