Official synopsis Publisher
Awry and thought-provoking jaunt through the spiritual terrain of our everyday language — a lexion of uncommon insight to jar the mind and nourish the soul. “I think of faith as a kind of whistling in the dark, because in much the same way,” writes Buechner, “it helps to give us courage and to hold the shadows at bay.”
