I have often written pieces about my childhood faith, and the journey since. A fair portion of Coop was devoted to that story. As such, this blog post got me ruminating some. Mr. Alden is mentor of mine (he gave me some early breaks and ink) and I appreciate his forthright and thoughtful exploration of what is always a tricky subject. His is a nuanced take, and blessedly free of snickers or sledgehammers.
