| Publisher Description: A FATHER WHO COMES RUNNINGJohn Andrews was the fourth generation in his family to follow Christian Science, the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. Then he had a crisis of faith that led to his leaving Science and embracing Christ. "The God we meet through Jesus, a Father who runs to welcome his wayward children home, won me over from the perfectionism of Mrs. Eddy's impersonal divine Principle," John says. In these collected essays, he lays bare the fallacies of a Scripture-twisting religion that claims we can think our way to health in this life and to heaven in the next. No one can, Andrews argues; we all need a Savior. Lessons from his life in politics, education, media, and ministry come to bear as John debunks today's credulous culture of self-salvation fads and reflects on his journey to the Cross. This is his seventh book. |
