The Burden of Light - Hardcover

by Michael Buhler (Author)

In an age when religion and spirituality have moved to the periphery of Western culture, The Burden of Light reveals characters who find themselves confronted by grace and a transcendent, eternal presence that is the backdrop to their lives.

Characters in this collection of eight short stories include a young man who spends three years alone in the wilds of Northern Ontario, wrestling with divine presence; a homeless teenager whose soul is drawn to divine beauty despite her drug addiction; a wealthy woman who feels the presence of grace stirring her soul, but turns back to a confined existence she trusts; and two children who encounter the mystery of evil.
