Bestselling author and poet Calvin Miller turns his hand to the most moving story of all–his own. The listener is taken through a myriad of experiences of a young man coming of age in mid-20th century America. Following his life into college, seminary, a small local church and eventually to a new life as an author and professor, the memoir touches on those points that make all of us uniquely human and intensely vulnerable.

Calvin's natural, candid, humorous storytelling is refreshing
Revisado: 07-18-24
his decision to write about five things his father gave him was powerful. this is in the early stages of the book. his father was a derelict drunk who abandoned the family. but rather than focus on all those negatives, Calvin writes in one chapter about five things his father gave him. The undercurrent, backstory of those five gifts is all the losses.
Calvin was a pastor for over 20 years so a good portion of the book involves pastoring, the ups and downs, the joys and difficulties. He then was a seminary professor for 19 years.
I don't think I could even count how many books seem to dwindle off as they wind down. this is an exception. The last 30 minutes need to be listened to or read with clear-eyed, contemplative attention. He spends the last portion talking about what he would do differently, and also talking about what he wants to do in the remaining years of his life. He also gives a critique of one-dimensional living.

Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post-World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and '60s-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear.

Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way. Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi's inner turmoil will challenge Christians and Muslims alike.

exceptional account
Revisado: 11-23-16
I finished this book on a day that I needed to take two separate subway rides into Manhattan. there I was, riding in the 6 train, listening to Nabeel tell of his conversion. I was moved in ways that nearly unseated my emotional resolve. Thank you, Nabeel, for a thoughtful and well-written account.
