“How do I happen to believe in God? ...I got into the habit of looking for plots. After awhile, I began to suspect that my own life had a plot. After awhile more, i began to suspect that life itself has a plot. “

I am not smart enough for this book. It was incomprehensible, and yet it spoke to my soul. It was beautiful yet painful. Hopeful and heartrending.

I get why some really loved this.

For me, though, I just couldn't connect with the dreamy prose.

Not giving up on Buechner, currently reading another Buechner title and have another in the read queue.

Not for me, not my style, tortuous to read. Thankfully it was short.
