Our Hearts Are Restless
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-764904-6 (ISBN)
The genre of spiritual autobiography has flourished ever since Augustine essentially invented it in the fourth century. In Our Hearts Are Restless, Richard Lischer--himself the author of two spiritual memoirs--takes readers on a guided tour of the genre, examining the life writings of twenty-one figures from the expected (Thomas Merton) to the surprising (James Baldwin); from the sublime Julian of Norwich and Emily Dickinson to the outrageous Anne Lamott.
Lischer is a perceptive reader and an engaging guide in the art and craft of spiritual writing. Our Hearts Are Restless shows readers how history's most brilliant spiritual writers have sought and found a pattern of meaning in the face of tragedy, conflict, and the responsibilities of daily life.
Richard Lischer is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Duke Divinity School. He is the author or editor of fifteen books, including The Preacher King: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Word that Moved America (OUP, 1995, Expanded, 2020), as well as two spiritual memoirs, Open Secrets: A Memoir of Faith and Discovery and Stations of the Heart: Parting with a Son.
