This mini-dictionary, written with vintage Buechner wit and insight, is a guide to everyday words and everyday living. ''Faith is a kind of whistling in the dark, it seems to me, and these somewhat antic and most undefinitive definitions are in a way the same thing---an attempt to keep the spirits up while peering through the shadows for some glimmer of Meaning.'' You'll find his uncommon insights will both jar your mind and nourish your soul. 160 pages, softcover from HarperCollins.
Awry and thought-provoking jaunt through the spiritual terrain of our everyday language -- a lexion of uncommon insight to jar the mind and nourish the soul. "I think of faith as a kind of whistling in the dark, because in much the same way," writes Buechner, "it helps to give us courage and to hold the shadows at bay."
