Is being a pastor's kid an asset or a liability in someone's life? I have lived on both sides of this perspective. As a bitter teen, I loved God but hated the church; I was loving people but hating "church people." What I had seen had ruined me...or had it? Might it have been the difference between dysfunction and destiny? Let me take you through my entire journey as a 3rd generation pastor's kid and let you peek into both sides of this PK issue. Was it tragedy or triumph? You decide. Residing in Santa Maria, CA, Rob and Cindy Litzinger pastor Church for Life, a multi-generational, multi-ethnic gathering of incredible people. Having an open door in their home, they have had a mix of adopted, foster, and natural children--currently 5 girls and a boy. Life is good.
Growing up as a preacher's kid (PK) is anything but easy-especially for a boy during the Great Depression when outhouses were plentiful and food was scarce. In scenes reminiscent of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Bob Haslam's life moved from one adventure to another. With his family living during the Great Depression on food stamps in the offering plate, plus living off the land, assisted by Pound Parties where church families brought in pounds of sugar, flour, etc., they somehow managed to survive. Coming of age under such circumstances was enhanced by moral and spiritual formation fostered by Bob's father and mother. As he grew into his teen years, Bob had a dream career all marked out. But God had other ideas. You will find an amazing correlation between the current economic downturn with millions out of work, and the time the author writes about. Living in the Pacific Northwest where Japanese attacks were expected after Pearl Harbor, Bob gives you facts that were kept secret during World War II and are largely unknown by contemporary Americans. Follow Bob on his bumpy ride as a preacher's kid during one scrape after another, ultimately coming of age as a responsible young man. BIO Bob Haslam has served as a pastor, missionary educator, missions executive, editor of his denominational magazine, book editor, and online mentor for hundreds of writing students. His writing has appeared in 80 publications and 13 books.
I was 10 when my father punched me in my nose, I was 9 when I met him. I was 11 the first time I found myself apologizing to him for cursing me out. I was 16 the first time he called me the B word and kicked me out of my home for never showing him fear. I was 24 married and pregnant when I found myself a statistic in the vicious cycle of violence.

The future of the United States rests in many ways on how the ongoing challenge of racial injustice in the country is addressed. Yet, humanists remain divided over what if any agenda should guide humanist thought and action toward questions of race. In this volume, Anthony B. Pinn makes a clear case for why humanism should embrace racial justice as part of its commitment to the well-being of life in general and human flourishing in particular. As a first step, humanists should stop asking why so many racial minorities remain committed to religious traditions that have destroyed lives, perverted justice, and justified racial discrimination. Rather, Pinn argues, humanists must first confront a more pertinent and pressing question: why has humanism failed to provide a more compelling alternative to theism for so many minority groups? For only with a bit of humility and perspective—and a recognition of the various ways in which we each contribute to racial injustice—can we truly fight for justice.
"[Here, the author] takes a look at the reality of suffering, the ways we tie ourselves in knots trying to deal with it, and the comfort for those who can neither fix themselves nor others. ... [You] will not so much learn why God allows suffering or even how to approach suffering. But you will come face to face who suffers with you and who suffered for you."--Back cover.
