Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
How does one deal with the changes, chances and paradoxes of life? Church, minister of the Unitarian Church of All Souls in New York City, dives into this tension as he dialogues with an anonymous letter writer who tells him that life is not worth living. Church (God and Other Famous Liberals, 1991) effectively uses the book of Ecclesiastes, which acknowledges life's vanities even as it urges people to find meaning in life. The result is a dynamic interplay between ancient wisdom and contemporary soul-searching. The three "life lines" Church articulates extend between love and death, self-acceptance and forgiveness, humility and compassion.

From Library Journal
Unitarian minister Church examines the questions of human suffering, death, and the existence of God. He ultimately affirms the worthiness of faith in the mystery of God?not because of reasonable evidence for belief, but in spite of the ambiguities of death and evil that persist for all of us. Church prescribes no easy explanations, only the paradoxical challenge of Christ's message of love?that in loving others as we love ourselves, we find deliverance from the locked prison of individual suffering. Although Church's insights will appeal to Christians, he embraces the universal oneness of all human experience. For most libraries.
