Recenzje

Douglas Christie's meditations on the terrible beauty of darkness, silence, and the limits to human understanding draw from the deepest sources of the Christian mystical tradition. We modern pilgrims, who so often have no idea where we are or where we are going, thirst for such wisdom, but we need a guide and interpreter. Christie is that sure guide, showing us how even wrenching loss can take us to a place of rest and reflection, preparing us for the next stage of the journey.
