This is one of my favorite books. If you have not gotten the chance to read any of Dorothee Soelle's writings, let this be your intro; she is an amazing writer. Dorothee Soelle was a very open-minded theologian, radical with her thoughts and deeply considerate with her heart. Her heart-filled and beautiful stories are very moving to say the least. It is rich, real, well written, and worth the few pennies you'll invest.
