this book had me thinking all the way through and long after. it wasnt pressuring on either side. it wasnt judgemental. it didnt try to persuade you either way. we simply have two men who have questions in the way they live both their lives and find some rare solace in eachother and the exploration of each and their own beliefs.
i was drawn in by the very first page of this book of how Richard came to be in his camp chair on the side of the road. it felt like a story i needed to read and im so glad i did.
the two men couldnt be different if you think of their faith or lack of. but when you look at it they are both men living in the world today. and the today is a very different and often confusing and unfair world to live in with any kind of faith. but can you walk towards that faith. and what if you already have it, but arent doing ok in your own life and so you question that faith that has stood you strong for so long. do you just walk away from it?
and what does religious faith mean against the backdrop of a world we all live in today.
like i said this book made me think. but in all the gentle and best ways. i loved their interactions. and i felt like they were centred around such kindness for each other. and i felt like alot of things we often ask ourselves about ourselves or what others believe could be so helpful if we just talked, communicated and listened...with our ears.
