I, too, would like to see the book in print. Perhaps, someday that might happen. Dr. John Cobb deserves the credit for the idea that there would be value and interest in a story of how a theology informs a life: A theological autobiography. It was both a challenge and at times a grueling experience to recall my past, but I was determined to say it authenticaly whether I was proud or ashamed of the actions I took. In the end, I feel deeply satisfied to have said it all. Sometimes I feel that an invisble friend is no longer with me daily. Mainly, I hope that this venture will encourage others to write their own theological autobiography. I think John asked me because he knew I had counseled for many years so both knew about the inner life of others and myself and knew how to speak in a few simple words. Again, hearty thanks for your kindness. Bob Brizee Dear Lee Crawford:

The book is quite interesting and thought provoking and should be a must read for all literate people of faith who have open, questioning minds(and those without faith too, for it resonates with alternative ideas to many orthodox doctrines that can be off-putting to the modern mind). Showing how the theology has emerged from or along with the author's personal story is a fascinating approach, and the ideas are presented in a way that can be grasped by literate readers without much formal theological training. This book needs to come out in hardback as well!
