Description: An anthology of 36 astonishing personal stories and essays from some of America's best writers that first appeared in Portland Magazine, the best university magazine in America (Newsweek).
Review Quotes: "While the spiritual may be hard to describe 'except with such ephemeral gossamer murk as epiphany, or awakening or shiver of the heart, ' notes editor Doyle, this essay collection demonstrates how effectively good writers can capture wonder within human existence, with little or no murk whatsoever.... With his keen eye for excellent spiritual writing, explicitly religious or not, Doyle offers an array of choices that may, in his words, 'open the most stunning doors.'
