This book is an autobiographical memoir. It tells the story of how God prepared me for the work of theology during childhood and during my schooling at Princeton, Westminster, and Yale. It focuses on those events that shaped my theological convictions and led me to develop my distinctive emphases in theology, apologetics, and philosophy. It seeks to honor God's providence in leading me from one point to another in my life as a son, husband, father, theologian, apologist, and churchman. My goal in the book is to show how one's theological convictions are products, not only of logic and reasoning, but also of the events of one's life and the people one interacts with. ""These engaging memoirs provide a rare window onto an era, and indeed into a godly heart. After reading these pages, I have finally understood why John Frame thinks and writes so lyrically. It's because he has the soul of a musician."" --William Edgar, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
