From “Secrets in the Dark: A Life in Sermons” by Frederick Buechner
From the Foreword by Brian McLaren:
I have no desire to analyze what makes Buechner’s writing and preaching so extraordinary. Neither do I want to account for Bob Bylan’s raspy mystique, the peculiar beauty of a rainbow trout in a riffle, or a thunderstorm’s magnetic terror. I simply want to enjoy them. They all throw me out of analysis and smack me clear into pleasure and love.
