The Alphabet of Grace by Frederick Buechner

4.0

Buechner writes in a stream of consciousness style, going through his day from waking up to seeing his kids off to school to meeting a friend for lunch. Throughout these mundane, everyday things life is seen as a gift of grace. What I appreciate most about Buechner is that he does not come right out and say things in black and white, but drifts in his writing from place to place, sometimes with what appears no overarching point. This writing style reflects our lives and in this style itself, as in our life, we find the grace of God. Not everyone will enjoy this style of writing, but for those who do, reading the words themselves is a welcome pleasure.
