    About this ebook

    This little memoir recounts the author's spiritual journey from a deeply conservative Christianity -- what some would call "fundamentalist" -- to a Beautiful Orthodoxy. It relates his intellectual history, a long and winding path from parochialism to a Life of the Mind that he prays is well-thought, robust, nuanced, and tolerant. It tells of his struggle with mental illness. And it gives glimpses of lovely people in his life.
