Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC in Bloomington, MN

In
Wishful Thinking
, the first book in his much-loved lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner puts the language of God, the universe, and the human spirit under his wry linguistic microscope. In his often ironic and always keen-sighted reflections on such terms as
agnostic, envy, love,
and
sin
, he invited us to look at theses everyday words in new and enlightening ways. Freshly revised and expanded for this edition,
is a "beguiling" [
Time
] adventure in language for the restless believer, the doubter, and all who love words.
