Panting, Drooling, Revealing, Killing: A Memoir of Faith
30 November 2004

Evangelical memoirist Patton Dodd has panted and drooled about Francis Schaeffer, revealed his true feelings about DC Talk, and now he goes and kills Richard Roberts' Buddha: "I believe that God slays people in the Spirit (it happened to King Saul and Saul/Paul in the Bible, after all) and I have friends who have had important spiritual experiences while being slain, but since my only slaying experience ended in my coming to grips with the fact that I only tried to be slain and did not really experience anything unusual, I am wary of it. I don’t want to trick myself into it again, and I surely don’t want to be tricked into it by a gung ho minister. I pray through all this as Roberts comes closer. If I experience You today, God, I want it to be real. Genuine. I don’t want to make anything up." Read more.
