An insightful look at life inside a conservative evangelical community-the Church of Christ. Growing up in a big church in a small town, Mike S. Allen's thoughts and stories come from his unique perspective as the son of a famous preacher. Some of his memories are fond and some are, naturally, conflicted. The narrative also includes sharing from dozens of other believers who talk about their experiences in a place where folks sometimes held strong, heaven-or-hell opinions about various doctrines. Sprinkled with wit and wisdom, "Growing Up Church of Christ" is a memory book that eventually leads to a crossroad: remain in the church of one's youth or take strides in a different direction? Reviews: "A narrative with funny, poignant memories." -Kirkus Reviews "Speaking as one who 'grew up Church of Christ, ' author Mike Allen has crafted a written time capsule that literally transported me back to childhood in a single evening. His superb collection of personal vignettes is delivered in a heartwarming and vulnerable style that taps into a wide range of emotions from laughter to tears - at times in but a single page. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every minute." -Dr. Joe Alexander, associate dean of The Jack C. Massey Graduate School of Business, Belmont University "In "Growing Up Church of Christ," Mike Allen strikes a unique balance. He manages to give us a fun and nostalgic trip back to our youth, while at the same time provoking thought on some weighty matters." -Steve Lake, regional director of advancement, Harding University
