Frederick Buechner articulates the beauty, pain, and irony of life so wonderfully. This book helped one see the mundane, trivial, and routine of life as a source of joy and a gift of nothing but the grace of God...Buechner is an artist, a poet, a musician of words...This is a great book to "sample"

his great works and choose which one of them to read next! Buechner helps one to recognize that the sadness and tragedy of life don't have to be ignored or explained away to retain faith in the goodness of God...We have to appreciate the stark and the empty and the need before we can find a fix or a salve.
