I have been working on an apologetics textbook since 2003. But I've decided to give that up in favor of a memoir. Everybody is doing it. They sell. After all, apologetics demands facts, arguments, qualifications, the examintion of argument forms, endless reading, writing, rewriting, analytical anguish in extremis. Enough is enough! There is hardly a personal pronoun in the entire manuscript.
The title of my new book: Me: The Audacity of Autobiography or How I Discovered my Sacred Self through Writing About Myself for Myself (and I Know You Will Find Me Fascinating Because I am Me, After All). Highlights will include:
- How I made God my mascot and found a blessing in it.
- The endless profundity of my pain.
- How narcissism got a bad name and what I did about it.
- My faith, myself, my God.
- When it comes to me, nothing is glib, all is profound.
- Reality and how I conquered it through journaling and psychotherapy.
- How I used the Bible to build a better me for me.
- I believe in God because God believes in me.
- The Kingdom of God is within me, and that's just where it should be.
- The world is wrong; I am right; get that straight before its too late.
- It is so hard being me, but you are better for it.
Ah, the clear, alpine air of untrammeled autobiography! It is endless; I contain multitudes.
(This is a satire, for you unmusical folks.)
