Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale by Frederick Buechner

Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale by Frederick Buechner

Telling the Truth is for the preacher who must pull the little cord that turns on the lectern light, must look out over the people and the silence, must begin to speak of a truth beyond telling. It is for the woman who wants to understand how people believe what they cheerfully acknowledge is a tragic, comic fairy tale. It is for anyone who believes that faith, like art, can hold a special mirror to human experience.

Frederick Buechner is the author of more than thirty works, and many readers have found him to be a valuable source of inspiration and knowledge. Buechner's books have been translated into twenty-seven languages, making him a prolific writer. The New York Times has labeled him a remarkable talent, and USA Today has called him one of our most original storytellers. Buechner has received honorary degrees from Yale University and Virginia Theological Seminary, as well as being a nominee for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
