A Powerful Polemic on the Inner Struggles for Peace
5/5 Stars
Since I am agnostic, I held some trepidation at reading this book, worried about excessive religious overtones. This isn't about religion. It's about living and coping with our inner demons. The protagonist is a preacher from a long line of preachers telling his family's story and his own to his son whom he knows he will not live long enough to see grow up. It is a compassionate and intimate tale of this character's inner life and ruminations, yearnings to be noble, and his baser human inclinations. It is beautifully told. What a wonderful read to find insight into the human portrait.
