Cross Purposes by Bob Welch
IN 2016, BOB WELCH--that rare combination of newspaper columnist and Christian--prayed a prayer that he believes changed his life. Over the next five years, he discovered he'd been quietly complicit in allowing the rage of far-right politics to distort the faith of evangelicals, including his own. During a 2020 sailboat trip to spread his mother's ashes, Welch commits to writing a book that he knows may rankle his fellow believers, but he can't stay silent. Amid hot-button issues such as Trump, COVID, and race, he dares to ply the shores of uncertainty in an attempt to answer a question theologian Henri Nouwen so eloquently asked: "To whom do I belong? To God or to the world?"Bob Welch is a Eugene, Oregon-based novelist who has written 22 books, including the bestselling Easy Company Soldier, which he co-wrote with Don Malarkey. He's a multi-award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in over a dozen books, including seven in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Welch's work has also appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Reader's Digest, Sports Illustrated, and Runner's World, among other publications.
