About Daniel Lane
I'm as convinced as I can be that the Scriptures are true, both in the message they present about God and the Gospel, as well as their wisdom for the realities of daily living. So my goal is to live by them, and to encourage others to do so. It is a particular privilege to be able to set them forth to college students in the excellent atmosphere that is here at Wheaton, and to challenge and equip them to learn to think and to live like Christians.
At the personal level, I enjoy my family enormously, and am a serious fan of classical music, and am the unofficial cheerleader for the Wheaton College Symphony Orchestra.
