Pivot Points: Adventures on the Road to Christian Contentment

Marvin Olasky, former editor-in-chief of World Magazine, follows up Lament for a Father with Pivot Points, where he first describes his journey from Judaism to atheism to Marxism to Christ and then his adventures in evangelical, conservative, compassionate, and journalistic circles. In this profound memoir, Olasky turns the editor’s scrutiny on himself with self-criticism and introspection in poignant—even uncomfortable—ways. Walking readers through an honest retelling of the turbulent times in his life, highlighting failures rather than successes, Olasky offers helpful reflections on God’s mercy in humbling and restoring his children when we fail.
