| book description |

Son of a Preacher Man is a story about a loving but fraught relationship between a father and son in apartheid South Africa. The father was Bruce Evans, a Jewish-born, evangelical Anglican clergyman who became Bishop of Port Elizabeth. His children grew up in the 1960s and â€™70s in a world awash with chapter-and-verse â€˜born-againâ€™ Christianity that included â€˜talking-in-tonguesâ€™, â€˜divine healingsâ€™ and exorcism. Gavin, his middle son, who narrates the tale, eventually broke with the religious beliefs heâ€™d inherited and threw himself into the â€˜struggleâ€™ for democracy while keeping his father at armsâ€™ length. But they reconciled shortly before Bruceâ€™s death from motor neuron disease in 1993. The book delves into the psyches of both men and examines how it played out in the 33 years they had together.
