Along Unfamiliar Paths

Arts & Literature

“This most engaging and original collection of poetic writings by Austin L. Scott is a page-by-page, bountiful discovery of honesty, courage, Christian faith, lamentation, and hope. Lifted toward heaven, it appears to be a prayer; directed toward humanity, it seems to be rather a love song and, at the same time, a tolling bell. The collection urges the readers to take no credit for any wholeness which they may enjoy, and to set about doing the hard work of connecting boldly with their brokenness, whatever its nature and whatever its depth.”
