This latest scandal at ORU reminds me of the days when Patti Roberts, Richard's ex-wife, wrote about her time at ORU and the treatment she received from the Roberts family in her book Ashes to Gold (1987). I remember when she called our home in California to ask my father for advice on whether or not she should write her book. I don't know exactly what he told her, but I think I can guess.

You should be able to find a copy here--but hurry--once the media remembers/discovers Patti the last few copies of her book will vanish. This mess is just beginning and if these people are guilty, I hope they nail them to the wall.

Anyone interested in reading the recent lawsuit filed against Richard and Lindsay Roberts (and co-defendants) can find it here:

If only one item on this long list is true--that Richard Roberts authorized University involvement in a local political campaign--they are in very big trouble.

More to come . . . .

Hi Jill,

I like your blog! I have also always enjoyed your dad's ministry and very thankful for him.

Question - do you have your blog set up to be added to Google Reader? I tried but it did not add correctly.

Thanks,
Scott
