Wishful Thinking by Frederick Buechner
In Wishful Thinking, the first book in his much-loved lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner puts the language of God, the universe, and the human spirit under his wry linguistic microscope. In his often ironic and always keen-sighted reflections on such terms as agnostic, envy, love, and sin, he invited us to look at theses everyday words in new and enlightening ways. Freshly revised and expanded for this edition, Wishful Thinking is a "beguiling" [Time] adventure in language for the restless believer, the doubter, and all who love words.
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.
