"In private, they ranged from unreconstructed bigot reactionaries like Jerry Falwell, to Dr. Dobson, the most power-hungry and ambitious person I have ever met, to Billy Graham, a very weird man indeed who lived an oddly sheltered life in a celebrity/ministry cocoon, to Pat Robertson, who would have a hard time finding work in any job where hearing voices is not a requirement.""Crazy for God" is a personal memoir of transformation, epiphanies, and an understanding of how dogma and ego can hijack personal faith. It is in parts of moving, revealing about personal contacts with the "leaders of the religous" right, and humorous.

"I think we have come through a very, very bad time and unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, my dad and I, when I was a young man and he in his career had a lot to do with it. Because we were the people, who along with others like James Dobson, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and the others, we put all of this crap in place. And now the reason I wrote 'Crazy for God' is because the title is literally that if we approach God in a certain way, it will drive you crazy. And this has been a period of craziness."
