How did a fresh York-born, Jewish, former-atheist novelist and screenwriter - a winner of multiple Edgar Accolades, whose books became movies with Clint Eastwood and Michael Douglas - find himself at age 50 being baptized and confessing Jesus as Lord? That's a tale worth revealing to. From his child years outside NEW YORK through his years as college-dropout wanderer and to his growing success as a writer, Andrew Klavan used stories. From novels and works to films and the Bible, books helped him interpret the world and understand his place in it. Dropping out of college to wander the united states as an itinerant journalist, he fulfilled the girl who became his wife - and stories of matrimony have been central to his writing ever since. Wrestling with severe unhappiness that required him to the brink of suicide, his readings of Hamlet and even Freud became vital life-giving helps. And lying during intercourse reading Patrick O'Brien's seafaring stories, he found the courage to state a prayer - "thank you" - that overturned his life and led, undoubtedly, to his baptism in NEW YORK a few days after his father's memorial service. The tales of Western books led Andrew Klavan to Jesus. This is Klavan's story of that journey.
