My Journey: From an Iowa Farm to a Cathedral of Dreams

Product Description Dr. Robert H. Schuller's career has spanned more than five decades, and his ministry of hope has touched the hearts and souls of millions around the world. From one great story to the next, this disarmingly honest autobiography shows us a side of the great preacher that we haven't seen before. Here are stories of the events, people, and encounters that shaped his inspiring life and made him the ultimate possibility thinker.Stepping down from the pulpit, Schuller evokes the strict Dutch Calvinist culture of his youth, his early sermons and successes evangelizing from the roof of the snack bar at the rented drive-in theater where his ministry took off, and how he was shunned by traditionalists in his denomination for taking Christian preaching where it had never gone before. Dr. Schuller shares insights on how his positive thinking philosophy helped him through the difficult moments of his life, and recounts meetings with great world teachers such as preachers Norman Vincent Peale and Billy Graham, psychiatrist Karl Menninger, and global leaders Mikhail Gorbachev and Bill Clinton. Schuller shares his own spiritual journey as he reflects on his personal life and relationships, charting how he blended the good news of the Gospel with the best of modern psychology. My Journey is a genuinely inspirational and quintessentially American story. About the Author Dr. Robert H.
