Path of Shadows, Flickering Light

History & Biography

“A brilliant, articulate scholar chose the pastor’s vocation: to share the lives—and deaths—of regular folk in two remote northern towns. Strug searches at each death—whether in ripe old age, by gruesome accident, slow disease, or own hand—for the word from the Word fitting the Christian communion’s presence and final rituals. A memoirist and storyteller, both candid and humorous, he illumines the universal through particular lives.”
