"Frederick Buechner is a beacon. When we can't remember what is true and what it all means, he's the person we turn to." * - Anne Lamott *
"He isn't trying to persuade - he's trying to understand what he himself believes and thinks. And that honesty is more persuasive than the most polished argument." * - John Ortberg *

"If Frederick Buechner subordinated his nature and chose to write on naughts and nothings, he would still exalt his readers.
