Produktbeschreibung
Inside & Falling Away is a fictional autobiographical coming-of-age story that follows three young men: Will Haywood, Ronny Connor, Jim Owens, and several of their friends. While they are all from diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds, they come from similar Christian homes benefitting from the 1970s American Dream. As the young men navigate a year at a Christian university in the 1980s, theirs is an insular world from which they are trying to break free. Becoming interested in things that their family, church, and university frown upon, their desire to explore life comes head-to-head with duty, responsibility, authority, and faith. The young men discover a new world full of confidence, love, exhilaration, pain, self-discovery, sex, and pride-tempered by inevitable self-doubt, insecurity, and fear of the future. Inside & Falling Away invites readers to participate in the emotions, experiences, and passion of youth in a more innocent time.

Autorenporträt
Bob Linehart was born into a very religious family. They went to church every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday night for prayer meeting. His parents made sure he was well taught from an early age in the lessons of scripture, the obedience of its commandments and instruction, and prayer.As he grew up, his close relationship with Christ was intermittent; he had a significant fear of missing out on the world. In high school, he expanded his social circle outside his childhood and church friends. Later, Bob matriculated to a Christian college where he continued to search both spiritually and socially. In 1984, he took pen to paper and wrote over 100 pages of a fictional autobiography embellishing on his own life experiences. Moving into a career, the half-finished manuscript was forgotten for decades. Ultimately, he did the unexpected and completed the book, Inside & Falling Away.
