Undiscovered Country: Imagining the World to Come
"Hawkins trusts a God who is rooted in human love even when that love is predictably frail or goes pitifully awry. He is a student of what it means to be "up to love," no matter how painful the lesson, which makes him the best kind of teacher. In the end, I think, that is what drives this book: his wish to teach us that our imagination of the afterlife has power to change our lives now." --Barbara Brown Taylor, author ofLeaving Church
