Terms or names that point to the realm of mystery and depth that lies beyond our ordinary experience. (2.) The reality that is beyond even the power of beyond words to convey, and that can be known only by experiencing it for yourself.</p> <p>"A word a day to keep the demons at bay." This is how Frederick Buechner likes to describe this witty and incisive dictionary. A daily devotional from one of today's greatest spiritual writers, Beyond Words offers 366 entries from Buechner's three alphabet books, <i>Wishful Thinking</i>, <i>Peculiar Treasures</i>, and <i>Whistling in the Dark</i>, including a new Introduction and nineteen new entries.</p> <p>Providing definitions of both sacred and ordinary words, as well as biblical characters, Buechner unabashedly brings his fresh perspective to words, concepts, and characters we thought we understood. This is a great introduction to Buechner's work as well as a library staple for those already well versed in his writing. It is Buechner at his best. Whether readers find themselves tearful from a deeply moving insight or laughing out loud at an unexpected turn of phrase, they will always feel uplifted, illuminated, and enchanted by the wisdom of Frederick Buechner.</p> 118703 1 5 2004 Beyond Words: Daily Readings in the ABC's of Faith (Buechner, Frederick) total:14|5:12|4:1|3:1| 14 67 25 2 123290 0060574461 9780060574468 14 2 4.79
