Críticas
If a spiritual memoir is successful, the author weaves together personal experience and theological discourse into a discussion of faith that stretches the reader beyond his or her own understanding of God. Bestselling author and retired Roman Catholic priest Girzone (Joshua) accomplishes this task and more in his narrative nonfiction. As a response to the questions readers of his popular Joshua novels have asked-are the authors beliefs the same as Joshuas?-he compiles a beautifully nuanced expression of his faith as a "help to others who are struggling to develop their own understanding of life." He draws on his studies at seminary and his impressive knowledge of science, history, art and theology to ambitiously tackle a variety of topics, from the existence of God and the creation of the universe to the history of the Catholic Church and some of its traditions, like celibacy and confession. Girzone maintains his humility by placing such challenging discussions in the context of genuine soul-searching. Especially poignant are his confessions of doubt, disbelief, confusion and depression with regard to identifying his core beliefs; he establishes a deep connection with the reader by his utter candidness. In his simple, readable prose, Girzone paints a beautiful portrait of faith. --Publishers Weekly
From the author of the popular and insightful Joshua novels comes a beautifully crafted reflection on the Christian faith and struggle. Girzone, a practicing priest until his retirement in 1981, has explored various theological topics in his dozen-plus books, prompting his readers and friends to ask what relation the beliefs about which he writes have to his own faith. In response, Girzone has written a work that combines spiritual memoir, systematic theology, biblical exegesis, and pastoral care into one volume. His probing questions focus on the central spiritual quandaries shared by many; anyone who has ever doubted or had serious conflict with biblical history and faith will readily embrace Girzones testament of perseverance and the spiritual life. Though the book often feels homiletic, readers (especially Catholics) will feel at home with and inspired by his words, which convey the torment and joys of any faith journey. Warmly recommended for public, church, and theological libraries. --Library Journal
