Description
A Room Called Remember brings together some of Buechner's finest writings on faith, love, and the power of words in the form of essays, addresses, and sermons. Here Buechner explores autobiography as theology, offers exhilarating reflections on biblical passages, and leads us into the "room called Remember," that "still room within us all where the past lives on as part of the present,...where with patience, with clarity, with quietness of heart, we remember consciously to remember the lives we have lived."

This book has some great stuff in it, but in all it seems kind of disjointed. This is kind of the point, however, in that it is a collection of all that was never released of his. Overall, this is still Buechner, so it's great, but definitely not one to start on.

This is a collection of essays, sermons, addresses, and speeches that Buechner had sitting around, all unpublished. I like Buechner a lot, so (for the most part) I liked the collection. But some of the essays/sermons are frustratingly vague or elusive. His prose glows as ever, though,

I bought this book for a college course and recall liking it immensely. I recently ran across it again while digging through some boxes in the pit of despair (a/k/a, my storage unit) and I pulled it out to read again. I'll give a more in-depth update after I've read through.
