Synopsis

Brief, but challenging essays in which the author looks candidly and without illusion at the world that man has made. Though he sees dark horizons, his ultimate answer is one of Christian hope. [GoodReads]

The majority of these essays are as relevant today as when they were originally published. Perhaps a sad statement on our world, but it makes for a powerful and simultaneously companionable reading experience. [MountainShelby's Reviews, GoodReads, Mar 09, 2017]
