4.0

I won this book from Goodreads.

I liked 95 ages of the book, because it felt focused. From pages 45 to the end worked with me. The beginning felt more meandering and trying to find that one this that he wanted to focus on. This book is self-published. This copy of the book was only 141 pages in its entirety. Schaeffer is an interesting person, one of the creators of the Religious Right and then flees when he is allowed to breathe and think on his own. I find him fascinating and sort of a poster child for all those who grew up Evangelical/Religious Right but were not allow to doubt and question and then left the church because the church or felt like the church wanted them gone. I do have a hard time with labels, am I an atheist or agnostic. Belief or the lack of belief is hard to label, because many like him each day is different and each day we feel different about everything. So for him he is an atheist who believes in God sometimes. I am not sure what I am, but this book did bring me comfort in the fact that there are people who are honest and who are searching and want something real we did not find it in church, because church is so far gone from what Christ believed.

It is an interesting book, there is nothing new or groundbreaking. It is nice to hear the struggles are the same. There might be hope for those to search and try to believe.
