À propos de cette écoute
From the author of Praying for Strangers and four Southern Gothic novels comes a chronicle of faith and spirituality that is personal, raw, wise, revelatory—and very funny.
With a unique mix of passionate revelation and quirky humor, River Jordan takes us on a journey through her Southern childhood to her present-day life as a novelist. Her stories run the gamut from dancing disco nights and midnight desert rides to surprise visitations with the divine. Included are comforting letters to personal friends and loved ones about faith, death, heartbreaks, and their futures.
Confessions of a Christian Mystic is a highly original work about an extraordinary faith that never loses touch with current culture or everyday realities. Jordan invites us to join in on her wild ride searching for the holy mysteries of God. This haunting work will leave you deeply comforted and full of hope. Hailed as "a book for our times", Confessions gently leads us closer to that divine mystery that shapes us and gives us life.

Commentaires
"River Jordan is the South's Anne Lamott: hilarious, authentic, irreverent, and breathtakingly insightful about all things spiritual. Through achingly honest reflection and regular shots of humor, Confessions of a Christian Mystic connects with those bewildered, broken places in all of us and reminds us of the beauty, mercy and grace that sustains us."—Joy Jordan-Lake, author A Tangled Mercy (and other novels)
"River Jordan once again explores the spiritual aspect of the human journey through her tender lens. She nudges us out of our comfort zones and into realms of personal discovery. With a master's hand, she peels open every raw corner of her own experiences so that we close the book forever shaped by this soul-stirring story. Delivered in small but powerful doses, River's words offer good medicine to any heart that has known hunger or hurt, love or loss. This is a book for any heart that dares to remain open in this great, big, beautiful, cruel world."—Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Perennials
"In her latest book, River Jordan confesses to having a pathological hunger for God. To guide those who would seek Him, she says the world must have its mystics-its Joans and its Johns. And I would add, its Rivers. Jordan raises the bar that writers like Anne Lamott have set, as she shows us how to find the mystical divine-which she calls 'God's wild card'-in the messy stuff of everyday life. This is a must read for everyone who loves the beauty of language and the power of story. Both can lead us to communion with God when those words are in the gifted hands of River Jordan."—Susan Cushman, author of Cherry Bomb and Tangles and Plaques: A Mother and Daughter Face Alzheimer's, and editor of A Second Blooming: Becoming the Women We Are Meant to Be and Southern Writers on Writing
