The Bleed of Heaven: Or Luke and Me - Paperback

by Kris Brown (Author)

Do you wonder where God is in your life? Deep in the messiness of my own experience, I have asked again and again, "Where is God in this?" From time to time, I have come to feel sure that no God could be or be where I was. The Bleed of Heaven: Or Luke and Me traces my way out by fits and starts. Piecing together close readings of Luke alongside memoir allows me to knit my life, with its problems intact, into the fabric of Luke's writing. Luke offers capable companionship, real help, but not necessarily the help any of us might have expected.
