Choice Reviews

Almost every reader will find something to carry away from this book and ponder. This is not a book of answers, but a testimony to the way in which persons with different agendas cope with the fragile world in which they live. Highly recommended.

J. H. Ware, Austin College, Choice Reviews

If ever a book were needed to add light in a season of heat, and courage in an age of fear, this is it. The unintended consequence of tragedy is often deep pastoral insight. This book is one of those pastoral consequences that will see us through and to the other side.

Rev. Peter J. Gomes, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in the Memorial Church, Harvard University

A wise, healing book that draws consoling and challenging words out of the stunned silence of their time.
