"The Word stands poised between hope and despair. Yes, the Word of God gives us great reasons for hope...God surrounds us with his intelligence, his tenderness, his wisdom. He leads us firmly yet gently, guiding our world, our lives, and even our rebelliious wills, if we yield to him."
Touching on everything from the mystery of divine healing and the resurrection of the body to the drudgery of daily work and a Christian view of sports, this diverse collection is a beacon of hope in dark and threatening times.
