I Might Be Acting Crazy, But It's a Good Crazy
CHOCTAW, Okla., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Larry R. Sachau explores the many cycles of rediscovery of the evangelical message over time in Evangelical Christianity: History's Most Amazing Mental Illness ($13.49, paperback, 9798868518614; $21.99, hard cover, 9798868518621; $5.99, e-book, 9798868518638).
When an outsider witnesses a conversion (the dramatic inner change someone experiences as a result of a personal encounter with Jesus Christ), they often describe the convert's reaction as if the person had lost their mind. Although it might seem hard to trust such a drastic, sudden change, it can also be hard to condemn one that is so positive, since it usually results in one's life taking on new meaning, stability, value and direction.
Sachau said he was inspired by his "conviction that most non-Christians and many church people view Evangelical Christianity as a kind of 'oddity' but would probably be interested in learning more about it."
Larry R. Sachau was born in Princeton, Illinois but spent the first 14 years of his life living in a variety of locations, including Maryland, Colorado, and Iowa. His family finally settled in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where he graduated from high school and later earned a BA in Sociology at the University of Northern Iowa. He attended Asbury Theological Seminary, and graduated with a Masters of Divinity degree. Over 30 years, Larry served pastorates, small and large, in Nebraska, Michigan and Oklahoma. He and his wife Renee are currently enjoying their retirement on their acreage in Oklahoma.
