Additional quotes by Frederick Buechner

There is treasure buried in the field of every one of our days, even the bleakest or dullest, and it is our business, as we journey, to keep our eyes peeled for it.

If you don't have doubts you're either kidding yourself or asleep. Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving.

If the truth is worth telling, it is worth making a fool of yourself to tell.

The past is the place we view the present from as much as the other way around. - Frederick Buechner
