Classic Buechner…

Since first reading Wishful Thinking over 30 years ago I have been hooked on Buechner. This collection of sermons is full of inspiration and challenging truth. Just what you would expect!

Great Material, wrong narrator

This work full of profound insights and wisdom was almost obscured by the narration that was melodramatic, artificial, and breathy, It was very difficult for me to listen to. I very much like the authors material. It’s worth re-recording it by someone who reads it straight.

Food for Thinking People of Faith

Compilation of Buechner’s Sermons/Essays over many years. They definitely deepen and mature as you go on, as they are more or less arranged chronologically. Definitely for the thinking Christian with lots of wonderful detail. Buechner is a keen observer of how people actually are and provides a very real hope, even as “a skeptical believer or a believing skeptic.”

Brilliant book.

Horrible reader that spoke every line with the same overall sentimental tone. Lost all of Buechner’s heart and soul.
