Episode 75 LIVE in Tennessee: C. Leonard Allen, author, 'The Bookroom: Remembrance and Forgiveness'

The Christian Chronicle Podcast

In our first-ever show before a live audience, we're pleased to present C. Leonard Allen, author of 16 books that explore Christian life, most of all Christian life together in the church.
In his latest book, a memoir titled The Bookroom: Remembrance and Forgiveness, Allen retraces the story of his lifelong search for answers to the questions that he first learned to ask as a boy in his father's bookroom. Growing up in the Church of Christ, Allen couldn't help but wonder if the claims he heard from that tradition were reliable and true.
In this interview (including questions from a live audience at Harpeth Hills Church of Christ in Brentwood, Tennessee), he highlights the twists and turns and lessons learned from decades of looking for answers to the questions he asked as a boy.
