This book reminded me of Anne Lamott's books (but not nearly as irreverent): you know, the kind of book where the author admits to having as many questions about God as the reader, and thus doesn't provide solutions but instead offers poignant, elegantly posed observations about the mysteries of life. Thank God it's okay to struggle.
I didn't realize this book, Between the Dreaming and the Coming True by Robert Benson, existed until I happened across it while reading another book.

Another book regarding Mr. Benson's spiritual journey and how we are each called to be saints and the living body of Christ.
Not a lot of depth, but I love his heart and thought process. I try to read this book every year or so.
And 'easy' read, in that the chapters are not lengthy, yet packed with content.
Couple of deeply introspective / step out of myself moments for me to ponder, beyond my daily grind.
Took a bit for me to really get into it, but the middle to end are really worth it.

I just can't say enough good things about Robert Benson's writing. Love it.
Recommended by Mike Yaconelli so it must be good.
