Only the Heart Knows how to Find Them: Precious Memories for a Faithless TimeThis book is a collection of memories and in memory stays with us the truth of our lives, not judicial truth, poetic truth; not accurate evidence, but instead wisdom, that notion we spend the rest of our lives trying to recapture". De Vinck writes about childhood and adolescence, marriage and family, career and loneliness, but his true subject is the ebb and flow of doubt and faith that underlies our daily lives.-- Provided by publisher-- |
