This week marked the 91st birthday of pastor and novelist Frederick Buechner.
In honor of the occasion, we offer this introductory reading guide to Frederick Buechner books …
We’ve ordered this list in the order that we think the books should be read, and we offer a brief explanation of why each book was included. We’ve included excerpts of most the books via Google Books.
2. Brendan: A Novel
Buechner’s stunning telling of the story of St. Brendan the Navigator who sailed from Ireland to North America.
“A lusty, bawdy, teeming, festooning, dancing marvel of a book for anyone who cares about Ireland or Christianity or paganism or history or sailing or–reading.”
–Thomas Cahill, Los Angeles Times Book Review
