Federick Buechner, though a Presbyterian minister, is somewhat hard to peg. He continues to elude. I’ve read his Telling the Truth and The Storm, a fictional work.
The Sacred Journey is a memoir of the his early years. Mr. Buechner is something of a spiritual mystic: “The swallows, the rooster, the workmen, my stomach, all with their elusive rhythms, their harmonies and disharmonies and counterpoint, became, as I listened, the sound of my own life speaking to me” (pp. 2-3).
Perhaps the good Lord will use Frederick Buechner and The Sacred Journey to speak to even me.
