God for an Old Man - Religious Gift for Elderly Men - Perfect for Father's Day, Birthday & Retirement Gifts

Finally. A well written theological treatise accessible and relatable to ALL levels of scholars and readers. Dr Thomas Dicken encourages us to consider the despair and delights from our own existence in our continual questioning and quest for our God. He takes insights from his PhD Divinity studies at Yale, his years of experience as a passionate professor and minister, challenges and catharses from his "golden" years, and shares them with his readers, to lead us to our own reflections and epiphanies. Dicken's powerful and poignant memories of meaning from his childhood often elevate his prose to poetry. He incorporates his understanding of great thinkers, writers, and artists including: Tillich, Merton, O'Connor, Camus and Roethke to use as examples of illumination for himself and his audience. A fine author and scholar, but always the teacher, Dicken uses this slim but significant book not to provide easy answers but to encourage our own honest exploration in our questioning of and quest for our God. He lures us in with great theological concerns and we gratefully and joyfully linger among his reflections and insights. A meaningful and must read for anyone "...trying to make some personal sense of the universe and an all-encompassing God." G. S. Gulliksen, English, CFCC
