This Boy's Faith: A Memoir

"An intriguing and often moving account of a childhood and youth suffused with the ways and means of our largest Protestant denomination."--Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion

"A meticulously detailed look at a world of which most of us have barely guessed the outlines, let alone the rich and disturbing interior."–Anne Fadiman, author of Ex Libris and At Large and At Small

"Honest, wise and just plain beautifully written, like all great memoirs This Boy's Faith transcends a deeply personal subject to tell a larger story--about how blessings can become curses, curses blessings, about how faith dies hard and the desire for salvation, in its various and surprising forms, is endlessly at hand."–Michael Knight, author of The Typist and Goodnight, Nobody
