This Week’s Good News Book:
Jesus,
My
Father,
the
CIA,
and
Me:
A
Memoir...of
Sorts
by
Ian
Morgan
Cron
When
he
was
sixteen
years
old,
Ian
Morgan
Cron
was
told
about
his
father's
clandestine
work
with
the
CIA.
This
astonishing
revelation,
coupled
with
his
father's
dark
struggles
with
chronic
alcoholism
and
depression,
upended
the
world
of
a
boy
struggling
to
become
a
man.
Decades
later,
as
he
faces
his
own
personal
demons,
Ian
realizes
the
only
way
to
find
peace
is
to
voyage
back
through
a
painful
childhood
marked
by
extremes-privilege
and
poverty,
violence
and
tenderness,
truth
and
deceit-that
he's
spent
years
trying
to
escape.
In
this
surprisingly
funny
and
forgiving
memoir,
Ian
reminds
us
that
no
matter
how
different
the
pieces
may
be,
in
the
end
we
are
all
cut
from
the
same
cloth,
stitched
by
faith
into
an
exquisite
quilt
of
grace.
