Whistling in the Dark: An ABC Theologized, Paperback/Frederick Buechner

Awry and thought-provoking jaunt through the spiritual terrain of our everyday language -- a lexion of uncommon insight to jar the mind and nourish the soul. ``I think of faith as a kind of whistling in the dark, because in much the same way,`` writes Buechner, ``it helps to give us courage and to hold the shadows at bay.``
