Warren Wiersbe began preaching at Cedarville University in the 1960's, and continued to make trips to the school well into the 2000's. He loved the student body, the various presidents who led the school. And when he died, he gifted his library to Cedarville so that future students could benefit from the resources he assembled. On November 15, 2024, Dan visited the campus to install Warren Wiersbe's final published book, Becoming New: 100 Days of Transformation Through God's Word, into the Warren and Betty Wiersbe Library, and while he was there, he had a chance to sit down with Dr. Thomas White.
