I think it was the Book of Bebb where he wrote one of my favorite lines from any novel. Describing a man, “He had the expression of someone who’d been kicked in the balls and forced to say ‘cheese.’”
There was a Buechner memoir I also really enjoyed where he went through his library and described his favorite books and writers. “The Eyes of the Heart.”
Love this and love Buechner. Years ago I picked up his daily meditations called Listening to your Life. He never fails in giving the reader food for thought.
Love it, Jordan. "The Jesuits of Protestantism" indeed. I'm officiating at a wedding this weekend, teaming with Father John Kerns of Our Lady of the Lake in Lake Oswego. I gotta run that phrase by him.
Yes, read Godric! And if you like it, check out Laurus.
Okay I will be picking up Godric at my next book store visit. I'm psyched. Thanks, John!

Adding Buechner to my reading list. Thanks Jordan! -S
Oh you're gonna like him!
