What is The Hungering Dark about?
<p>These powerful reflections on biblical themes by one of today's most popular religious writers point up the truth that the darkness of doubt is often necessary to provoke a hunger for God. <b>The Hungering Dark</b> towers as one of Fredrick Buechner's best statements on contemporary belief challenged by doubt.</p> <p>Drawing on texts from the Old and New Testaments, <b>The Hungering Dark</b> invites us to discover the hidden face of God, the manifestation of his grace, revealed in stillness, in unexpected places, often "through a glass, darkly." It invites us to say yes to "the possibility of God", and to recover "this fantastic hope that the future belongs to God...that holiness will return to our world."</p> <p>"Combines an acute sensitivity to the Biblical word with a keen awareness for what is relevant for his contemporaries."--Choice </p>
