Whistling in the Dark by Frederick Buechner

Whistling in the Dark by Frederick Buechner

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.
