"There are some things about God that, were I to stop believing them, my world would change color, my hope would turn sour, and the meaning of my life would be yanked inside out." In this moving spiritual memoir, finished shortly before his death in December 2002, Lewis Smedes, beloved teacher and best-selling author, takes readers through his o
Lewis B. Smedes (1921-2002) Was professor emeritus of theology and ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California. Among his many books are Forgive and Forget, Shame and Grace, How Can It Be All Right When Everything Is All Wrong?, Love within Limits, and Mere Morality.
David Neff "The man who taught America how to forgive had many wounds. In My God and I Lew Smedes gives an honest and unvarnished account of the childhood hurts and churchly distortions that challenged him to learn grace, compassion, and forgiveness. . . . He models a perseverance in following God that nearly matches God's own persistence in reaching out to us." Library Journal "A popular speaker and religious writer, Smedes died at age 81 before this brief memoir could be published. . . . Contradicting dour stereotypes of his Dutch Reformed tradition, he recalls his life with droll, self-deprecating humor. . . . Recommended for public and church libraries where his many books are popular." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Humbly recounted and gracefully written, this slim volume is a pleasure to read and a poignant valediction from a man who lived long and loved wisdom." Joan D. Chittister "Warm, personable, readable, honest. . . . Don't read this book to find out what Smedes believed, gripping (and often charming) as that account is; rather, read it to find out what you believe about God. I love this book." Richard J. Mouw "Vintage writing from a man equally at home discussing theology in a seminary classroom and talking about the human need for forgiveness on Oprah."
