Dick Huser tells his story of theology schools and mainstream churches from inside out. It is a story drawn from the raw materials of the human condition. It is a profile of real people who turn to pastors from a myriad of motives. It is the story of his own progress and regress and regeneration, as he struggled with the paradoxical nature of church history, ancient creeds, modern interpretations, and the clash of a dramatically new culture with traditional credos. The vulnerability of his journey is exposed for all to see, and the healing influence of family, friends and colleagues becomes happily apparent.
