When we grow up Christian, it is always in a small place. At first, we don't even know it is a small place. It's just our place, and it feels like home. We launch out from this small place, and we discover that the Christian way is longer and richer than we ever knew. Noted theologian Leonard Allen's story begins at age eight in his father's bookroom—and with an emerging cluster of questions about the faith he inherited. The search for answers led him on a long journey, including a harrowing desert season, then a season of newness he had not imagined.

Meine Lieben, das Buch, das ich euch vorlese, wurde vor etwa sechzehn Jahren unter dem Titel Doppel-Ich veröffentlicht. Es war eine Auftragsarbeit für das Gütersloher Verlagshaus. Der Verlag war durch meine Talkshow "Guildo und seine Gäste" auf mein zerklüftetes Treiben im pädagogischen Kontext aufmerksam geworden. Bestellt wurde ein Buch über meinen Ansatz zum Thema Inklusion. Ich habe das Ganze dann in einen autobiografischen Roman gepackt und bin dafür in Bereiche meiner Vergangenheit vorgedrungen, die mich zum Teil vor mir selbst erschaudern ließen.
