From the Back Cover:
HAROLD FICKETT expresses an attitude many of us share in today's society -- a society in which scientific thinking can sometimes be equated with the whole truth and faith identified with ignorance and fanaticism. Things in Heaven and Earth: Exploring the Supernatural investigates the mystery at the heart of spirituality: those divine interventions that indicate God's love and care -- the supernatural. The contributors to Things in Heaven and Earth detail their personal approaches to this fascinating and, at times, sensational subject. Internationally acclaimed authors Madeleine L'Engle, Ron Hansen, Doris Betts, Paul Mariani, Larry Woiwode, and many others share their experiences with the supernatural in searching and deeply-felt reflections. They recount their struggles to understand and appreciate God's enigmatic ways. A guide full of hope, Things in Heaven and Earth brings us to the boundaries of human experience where the supernatural transforms our conceptions of life as well as our hearts.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. ''A numberless series of sayings and lives of the saints bears witness to the reality of the light, so that one would have to be mad to deny the certainty of these appearances of the light that is full of grace'' (Pavel Florensky, in The Pillar and Ground of the Truth). Well, if not mad, then at least forgetful, or numb, or dull -- and certainly all of us but a chosen few share in one of these conditions most the time. Hence the great value of a collection such as this, which reminds in diverse ways of Him who is ''everywhere present and fills all things.'' The contributors herein vary widely in their approach to the supernatural. Some are autobiographical or anecdotal (Madeleine L'Engle, Susan Bergman, Ron Austin, Ron Borofka), some draw upon lives of the saints (Ron Hansen on St. Francis, A.G. Harmon on Edith Stein, Erin McGraw on Teresa of Avila), the miracle of Scripture (Paul Mariani) or divine presence in the natural world (Larry Woiwode). Yet others (Deal Hudson, Philip Johnson and Paul Vitz) argue philosophically for the truth of the supernatural in the face of modernity's denial. And Luci Shaw and Doris Betts offer almost lyrical responses to our ever-present and ultimate enemies, doubt and death. Despite their diversity of approach, all these writers share a disarming honesty and clarity of expression. In their being gathered together, the editor has made his own compelling statement about ''the certainty of these appearances of the light that is full of grace.''. Seller Inventory # 20070607111647
