| This is easily the most interesting and important book of theology I've read in a very long time. Not only is it inventive, novel, and beautifully written, it is full of insights. It is the kind of theology that needs expression in our scientific age...more | |

I'm finding it impossible to write a cohesive review of this wonderful book. Really, it's just so odd (and I mean that as a compliment) that I can't even begin to describe it. So instead, I give you...random thoughts!

“The days passed in a dream. I pictured our reunion again and again, played it out in my mind over and over until I’d almost worn a groove in my thoughts, so deep that it seemed the only thing I could think of was our reunion. Anticipation is a gift. Perhaps there is none greater. Anticipation is born of hope. Indeed it is hope’s finest expression. In hope’s loss, however, is the greatest despair.”
― Steven L. Peck, A Short Stay in Hell

“It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasn’t honest either. This had been building for a long time. Our silences were getting longer. Our arguments more frequent. How do you stay with someone when there are no dreams to build? No purpose to accomplish? No meaning? No meaning —that was the monster that drove us away from one another in the end. Always.”

“Remember you are never really alone. Although it may feel like it for very long stretches of time.”
