Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: This novelist-preacher insists you have to understand the Gospels unblinking reflection of everyday reality. They record the tragedy of human failure, the comedy of being loved overwhelmingly by God despite that failure, and the fairy tale of transformation through that love. With grace, literacy, and beauty Frederick Buechner introduces us to this vision that, once found, cannot be forgotten.
