Faith Rising—Between the Lines

Arts & Literature

“A profoundly deep, heart-penetrating, magnificently written, and spiritually courageous exploration of the intrinsic relationship between certain religiously crucial types of literature and their essential capacity of implicitly and indirectly conveying powerfully inviting and felt hints and glimpses of those shards of Light that are continually penetrating the otherwise all-encompassing darkness of our human condition.”

Parish, the Thought

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The selections from this forthcoming book are elegantly written and spiritually profound in a way that effectively synthesizes a convincing true-to-life immediate concreteness of real persons in real situations of spiritual significance, on the one hand, with the essential Christian realities of guilt, confession, forgiveness, redemption, humility, humor, joy, hope, and a continuous sense of God’s living presence in the heart, on the other.”
