The Fool of God by Louis Cochran is a great read … it is a novel that tells the captivating story of the beginning of Restoration Movement churches … Christian Churches, Churches of Christ, and Disciples of Christ. It is the story Alexander Campbell, who devoted his life to understating and following scripture – and how God used him to launch a movement of church leaders and churches who follow the same pursuit. This book casts the Restoration Movement vision and helps everyone to understand the background of these churches.
LOUIS COCHRAN was an FBI agent in Kansas City, Missouri; St. Louis, Missouri; and Los Angeles, California. He does a great job by providing the factual history of Campbell and the early movement, while creating dialogue and filling in the gaps in ways that are completely in step with Campbell and the times in which he lived.
“I grew up in a church downstream of the Campbell movement and had no idea of the rich spiritual heritage I was part of. The Fool of God helped me appreciate the faithful shoulders upon which I stand.” —JASON HENDERSON, chief operating officer, RENEW.org
“The Fool of God is a compelling invitation to embrace the unifying power of the gospel message. It reminds us that in Christ, everyone is welcomed to the family table.” —TINA WILSON, author of Step into Scripture
“I highly recommend this book for those who want an introduction to and inspiration from Alexander Campbell’s life.” —CHAD HARRINGTON, coauthor of The Revolutionary Disciple; owner of HIM Publications and YouPublish
