Aprašymas
In the tradition of C. S. Lewis's A Grief Observed and Sheldon Vanauken's A Severe Mercy, Steven Guthrie's Of All Things Seen and Unseen is a rare personal glimpse into the movements of grief and hope through the eyes of a gifted theologian. These eleven letters to his son Samuel, written over the course of 20 years, usher us into the intimate experience of losing a newborn child to a rare developmental complication. Yet the journey is more than a window into grief and healing--it's a cosmic exploration of what we can know, how we can know it, and how we can move forward in hope.
Guthrie deftly moves between narrative memoir and reflections on science, history, Scripture, and art--inviting readers into a profound meditation on what it means to be human and to be deeply known and truly seen.
