Seeking to find a Robert Schuller Quote

Can you get access to a copy of Schuller's autobiography (2001)?

Otherwise, it may take a while to go through Robert H. Schuller's 30 published books.

 

Found this and wonder if it's what you are looking for:

Talking Calvinism with Robert H. Schuller | Richard J. Mouw

“In the end I told him, ‘Schuller, your theology is like the first rocket phase of a spacecraft going to the moon. It gets the ship in the air, but pretty soon something else has to take over if the flight is to be successful!’”

 

KateforChrist,
Welcome to Baptist Board.

 

And, here it is...

12:40-14:30

 

But the gospel of success did not last for the megachurch.

 

the main quote of his that always really bothered me was when he claimed that just as God sent to us Calvin and Luther for the reformation, God sent him for the Gospel of self reformation, self esteem!

 

he never really preached the true Gospel anyways!

 

Here is the transcript from the video so that people don't have to watch it:

the best thing that happened to me there
is first of all I had one of the great

it was so he was so known I was very
fortunate at that time I thought I was a

talking I mean I was out talking to
youth groups even when I was in high
school I thought it was great and I knew
he'd brag about my speech when I had to
give my speech to the class in speech
101 I got ripped
I didn't know thank God I would learn it
he said sure I think we can make a
speaker out of you but it's gonna take
it tough a lot of work
he said we gotta get rid of a Plato and
that's a tough thing to get rid of Frank
is a Dutch word and I'm Dutch but he was
too Frank means preach he said we gotta
get rid of that preaching Tom it was the
thing preaching tone let me illustrate
let's start today about how we can live
the life that God wants us to live this
is very important break2 preaching - he
said it's gotta be conversational talk
to people don't preach at them he cured
me pretty good
I still have remnants of that left at my
worst and I think then the most
14:32
important thing that happened was it was
14:33
in that department that I involve myself
14:36

14:47
forensic fraternity I'm very proud of my
14:50
gold key and I learned debate I was good
14:54
at debate and I think I've been a
14:57
debater ever since I think that when I
14:59
they get up in the pulpit to speak I'm
15:02
always anticipating the audience I'm

 

There may be misheard words? I'll say!
