In his classic form, Buechner delivers challenge!- By: , 13 Jun 1999 I first read this bookin 1994, & have re-read it numerous times since. Buechner leads the wayin challenging us all to share the secrets of our lives only known to self & God, knowing that "maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you & I, of these stories of who we are & where we have come from & the people we have met along the way because it is precisely these storiesin all their particularity, as I have long believed & often said, that God makes himself known to each of us most powerfully & personally." (p. 30). We all have secrets. Buechner picks up the gauntlet of boldnessin breaking the prison of silence, only to find freedom & forgiveness waiting on the other side of the prison doors. My margin note summarizes the message of this book best: "telling secrets + forgiveness = peace!Beautiful and tender- By: , 14 Nov 1998 A profound meditation on life & faith by one of the best contemporary writersin America.
