Crazy for God

Short review: This is my favorite memoir so far this year. It is not new, but I have not read it previously because of some preconcieved notion that it was a screed against his parents. It is not. It is an honest look at growing up in the Evangelical spotlight. With imperfect people as parents (as we all did.) If Frank did not place the focus of the book on his own problems and shortcomings it might feel like a screed. But Frank is sure that for every real and honest complaint about his parents or something or someone else, there are several more about himself.

Again, I was reminded today reading an article about Thomas Kincaid that it is important that especially as Christians we need to allow people to be fallen. No Christian hero is perfect. This book will join a list of others that I recommend to people that want to honestly look at Christian spiritual development.
