Vondalee read and liked Michelle's review of Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back:

"I haltingly recommend this book, and so far only to two people (adults) on my goodreads list! It's somewhat shocking due to brutal honesty, but I was reading it to gain perspective, and that I did.

It's somewhat shocking due to brutal honesty, but I was reading it to gain perspective, and that I did. The insights I consider invaluable, and only serve to bolster a growing conviction that there are no perfect people, families, marriages, relationships, or churches. Besides that, Frank Schaeffer aptly uncovers the unlikely origin of so much of what we take for granted today as the Christian's evangelical conservative mindset, how some parts of it distilled into the homeschooling movement, and other parts into our political ideas. These things were my Christian inheritance as a child of the 60's, but who knew so much of it started in Switerland? Additionally, there are incredible lessons in grace to be learned from the mission at LaBrie, Switzerland, lessons I need to practice in my own home. Not everything that went on there is worthy of repeating, but as said previously, there are no perfect churches-only a perfect Savior.(less) "
