The Magnificent Defeat | Frederick Buechner

"Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality-not as we expect it to be but as it is-is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.”

NerdyRev I am teaching a class this Fall on Theology and Buechner was a major shaper of mine. Reading him is like a warm blanket on a cold day, for me. 8y
