In < I> Wishful Thinking< /I> , the first book in his much-loved lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner puts the language of God, the universe, and the human spirit under his wry linguistic microscope. In his often ironic and always keen-sighted reflections on such terms as < I> agnostic, envy, love, < /I> and < I> sin< /I> , he invited us to look at theses everyday words in new and enlightening ways. Freshly revised and expanded for this edition, < I> Wishful Thinking< /i> is a "beguiling" < I> Time< /I> ] adventure in language for the restless believer, the doubter, and all who love words.
