I'm one of many students who learned more about the Bible because of Jerry. He was my academic advisor at PLNU in 1977. Visited him about 10 years ago. Wish I could have seen him more recently. I still remember him bringing his young daughter to class one day. Miss you brother...

To Priscilla & Family,
Blessings to you in the home going of your husband and father. Dr. McCant was one of my professors at PLNU. A brilliant mind and a challenging professor - I'm grateful for the opportunity and privilege of being one of his students.

One of my favorite ministers of Graham Nazarene! Used to spend many afternoons at the parsonage when I was a little girl & in Macon when I was visiting relatives as a teen! He certainly gave you things to think about!
