Book Description
A heart-warming childhood memoir about the son of a Dutch Reformed preacher, Reformed sweeps us into a young boy's world of trials and redemption. Tornados, disabled siblings, death, guns, fears of losing his mother, and the mysteries of sex are challenges Karl faces before he is ten years old. He wrestles with the moral and theological puzzles that shape his world. Sometimes his conclusions challenge the status quo. When bad decisions lead to delinquency and crime, he must learn how to respond as flashes of truth and grace ignite in him the first flames of faith. Without self-pity, nostalgic sentiment, or indictment of his past, Petersen's stories--vivid, candid, and humorous--draw us into his quirky family of ten in a time before iPads.

Book Description
Preachers' kids are the worst!' This is an allegation we've heard all our lives. It was usually one of those heathen deacon's children hurling the accusation our way after we'd escaped blame for a problem we'd caused. Like livestock, PKs are branded for life. People know at first glance that we are trouble. Father, Forgive Me: Confessions of a Southern Baptist Preacher's Kid is a humorous, self-deprecating memoir of a preacher's kid (PK) growing up in the South. Do you want to know what really goes on behind the closed doors of a parsonage? Do you ever wonder how preachers nickname their parishioners and talk in secret code about the members of their flocks? Have you ever wondered how preachers' wives help keep the family on an even keel? For all who have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in a minister's home, this is the book that will expose it all-including what happens when a minister's wife shoots one of her own children!

Book Description
I'm a preacher's kid, and that means living under a magnifying glass. I can't so much as trip or let my hair frizz or get a C on my report card without shaming my family. My only refuge is my anonymous blog (with maybe five readers) where I can vent. Okay, and gush about the Prince Harry lookalike of my dreams. And detail my plan to move out of state this summer. Dad has other ideas, like forcing me to attend the local Bible college with every other judgy person I know. It makes me roll my eyes so much I know what the back wall of my skull looks like. Will my dad come to his senses by the time I graduate? Will my blog get more than five readers? And do any of my readers pray? Because I need all the help I can get.
