Bruce told his own story yet again, how he had lived a phony life of pietism and churchianity for years, and how when God came to call, he had been found wanting and had been left behind, without his wife and precious children. Buck had heard the story more than once, yet it never failed to move him. Some sobbed aloud. Those hearing it for the first time got Bruce’s abbreviated version.
Bruce is like that guy who corners you at the office water cooler to tell you their entire life story. It’s like one of the two things he ever does. That and exposit about the stuff that’ll happen later in the series.
