The Appalachian Archive - Paperback

by Robert Morrison Randolph (Author)

This is a Christian mystic's archive of writings about feeling God's abiding presence and love in all things, even in the poet himself, but also feeling pain and loneliness because human finitude prohibits knowing God fully. He cannot wholly know the God he wholly loves. Finally the poet comes to feel in the natural world God reaching out to the poet personally, which brings hope and peace.
