Comfort in the Shadow: A Spiritual Memoir

At the pinnacle of his life, the writer learns he has incurable cancer. Recalling episodes in his past, he tells his children how he realized the world is not the desperate battle of wits and wills he once believed it to be. It is enchanted -- by a profoundly loving, mysterious power. Drawing light from Zen, liberal Christianity, and twelve-step spirituality, he learned to perceive a higher power’s movements, presence and guidance. That changed everything.
