'I became a writer, I now believe, to sort out words used and misused...
Soul Survivor
'I became a writer, I now believe, to sort out words used and misused by the church of my youth. Although I heard that "God is love," the image of God I got from sermons more resembled an angry, vengeful tyrant....
Ever since, I have been on a quest to unearth the good news, to scour the original words of the gospel and discover what the Bible must mean by using words like love, grace, and compassion to describe God's own character. I sensed truth in those words, truth that must be sought with diligence and skill, like the fresco masterpieces that lie beneath layers of plaster and paint in ancient chapels....
Why am I still a Christian? What keeps me pursuing a gospel that has come to me amid so much distortion and static, that often seems more like bad news than good?
