Frederick Buechner (1926 – 2022) was an American author, Presbyterian minister, preacher, and theologian. The author of thirty-nine published books, his work encompassed many genres, including fiction, autobiography, essays and sermons. His career spanned more than six decades. Buechner's works have often been compared to C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. Whistling in the Dark is Frederich Buechner at his best. As a companion with Wishful Thinking and Peculiar Treasures, this volume is essential reading for the brave of heart. They capture the every day essence of a real God. Ripped from the sterile world of church and stained glass windows, Buechner's Jesus/God walks dusty roads, touches pustulent fly-covered lepers and caresses the face of broken hearted prostitutes. He introduces us to doctrines and Biblical figures who belched at the table, scratched where it itched and talked with God.
