Andrew Klavan is a name known in the literary world in the
realm of crime fiction. He is prolific and best known for True Crime among many
other works. His work uses at least one character who is a Christian in a major
role.
He did not start out life with that viewpoint. In fact he
was not even interested in that area.
His childhood was far from what we would see as religious.
His parents were only Jewish in name and agnostic even atheist in practice.
His early childhood was spent in his mind in stories he made
up. No one really knew. Education wise he was able to bluff his way through
school. He never read the required books assigned but was able to bluff his way
to good grades.
He had Christian influences as he grew from childhood to
adolescence. He knew about the Bible but it was just a book to him that contained
great plot ideas.
But he was intellectual and had to read through the book for
himself.
This is a memoir that starts at age sixty when he is being
baptized than backtracks to carry the story forward from birth to the baptism.
It has great fiction technique. You can see he has great command of language.
It is an easy read.
This book was sent to me free from booklookbloggers.com for
the purpose of review. I recommend this as a book to be shared with seekers. It
is a good evangelistic tool.
