As the Broken White Lines Become One

History & Biography

“As we travel through this life, people of the 21st century have neither the stomach nor the time for a tale of airbrushed sentimentality. With humor and humility, depth and deprecation, Michael Gehring writes his story. Rock legends and 4th century theologians are just some of his guides along the way, but it is his own voice, which speaks a truth that the world and the church need to hear. There is no pretense, no fear as he reflects on the past and speaks boldly into the future; there are only the words of one who has journeyed hard and well. Listen well.”

Losing Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“With a refreshing mixture of candor and hope, Michael Gehring’s memoir of church life in these tumultuous times elicits laughter and tears. In these pages, we feel the church struggle and writhe, much as Jacob wrestles until he gets his blessing. Without shying away from politics, pandemics, or denominational turmoil, Gehring’s account allows us a glimpse into the future where God is making all things new, and we dare to hope for God’s work to continue through us.”
