Feet of Clay: Meditations for the Perplexed

by Ken Kron

During a period of two years, the author quarreled with many practices of the church and the way he and Christians behaved. He writes of the hopes, conflicts, and joys he had as he looked at his experiences and judged those with whom he came in contact with insight, humor, and empathy. Feet of Clay is a uniquely honest study of the human condition. Although he did not write to be controversial, but rather to examine his own struggles and conflicts of faith, the author’s conclusions will be prickly because he looks at the real, seldom-discussed issues of the day. But he has a sense of humor, too. What is the proper response when a German Shepherd pees on his khakis? How can the World’s Worst Restaurant be so good at being bad? How much time should he give to the garrulous, suicidal man who wants to take up his writing time?
