Title: A Severe Mercy By: Sheldon Vanauken Format: Paperback Vendor: HarperOne Publication Date: 1987 | Dimensions: 5 3/8 X 8 X 1/2 (inches) Weight: 6 ounces ISBN: 0060688246 ISBN-13: 9780060688240 Stock No: WW88246 |
A heart-rending love story described by its author as “the spiritual autobiography of a love rather than of the lovers” about the author’s marriage and search for faith.
Vanauken chronicles the birth of a powerful pagan love borne out of the relationship he shares with his wife, Davy, and describes the growth of their relationship and the dreams that they share.
A beloved, profoundly moving account of the author's marriage, the couple's search for faith and friendship with C. S. Lewis, and a spiritual strength that sustained Vanauken after his wife's untimely death. Replete with 18 letters from C.S. Lewis, A Severe Mercy addresses some of the universal questions that surround faith--the existence of God and the reasons behind tragedy.
