À propos de cet audio

How did a New York-born, Jewish, former-atheist novelist and screenwriter - a winner of multiple Edgar Awards, whose books became films with Clint Eastwood and Michael Douglas - find himself at the age of 50 being baptized and confessing Jesus as Lord? That's a tale worth telling.

From his childhood outside New York City through his years as college-dropout wanderer and on to his growing success as a writer, Andrew Klavan consumed stories. From novels and plays to movies and the Bible, literature helped him interpret the world and understand his place in it. Dropping out of college to wander the country as an itinerant journalist, he met the woman who became his wife - and tales of marriage have been central to his writing ever since.

Wrestling with severe depression that took him to the brink of suicide, his readings of Hamlet and even Freud became crucial life-giving supports. And lying in bed reading Patrick O'Brien's seafaring tales, he found the courage to say a prayer - "thank you" - that overturned his life and led, inevitably, to his baptism in New York City a few days after his father's memorial service. The stories of Western literature led Andrew Klavan to Jesus. This is Klavan's story of that journey.

Andrew Klavan deftly and reflectively probes the depths of his own soul, exploring his conversion in a manner beneficial to all seekers discontent with the faux-spiritual emotionalism of modern religion. Evocative of C.S. Lewis’ largely intellectual struggle with God, Klavan’s self-aware testimony of God’s relentless pursuit is engaging, encouraging, eccentric, and profound - a delight.

A brilliant, heartfelt testimonial

I've been putting this one off for a while. I knew I wanted to listen to it, but a lot of other reads felt so much more urgent.

I knew that this would have the same relevance today as it did yesterday, as it did last month. but now, I felt, was the time and it was timely.

Definitely recommended. I've come to appreciate Andrew Klavan over the past 4 years thanks to his work on the Daily Wire and It's wonderful having this peek into his journey to Christianity

A fantastic read.

Honestly I was expecting more of a transformation story or moment. This author speaks a lot about other authors and references books that are foreign to me. When the book ended it caught me off guard as I was expecting something eventful to happen.

melow and meandering
