The book is a marvelous collection of stories that will live,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Carpenter and the Unbuilder: Stories for the Spiritual Quest (Hardcover)
So often stories are kept loose and told with great fervor from one generation to another. Griebner has collected his own powerful stories that build on a solid theology of God's grace. These stories have been bound in a book but serve to bring change in the life of those who read the stories in search of truth. The book is a masterful treatise of man's need and God's action. I use them frequently since there are few stories that span the passing of time and convey the timeless. It is a keeper in the heart and not on the shelf. I can hardly wait for the next work by this author.

Building/Unbuilding the Mystical Spiritual Journey,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Carpenter and the Unbuilder: Stories for the Spiritual Quest (Hardcover)
David Griebner offers wonderful short stories that are almost Zenlike, but are rooted in Christian faith. His stories, like koans, take us on the road of discovery to gain a sense of the self within, the sense of self that lives beneath the many artifices that we construct. His stories are short, quiet, meant to be read slowly, and especially, to be read one at a time. Do not read this little volume in one sitting, though certainly that is possible. Rather, read one story, chew it, savor it, and understand how it connects with your life's journey. Griebner's stories evoke in me Dag Hammarskjold's words of gratitude:
