The Day Is Far Spent: 40 Nights for the Ones Who Can't Sleep (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187037957)

This book is for two in the morning.

Forty nights, in four movements - Encounter, Recognition, Surrender, Sending - the shape of the road two grieving men walked out of Jerusalem a long time ago, and the shape of every road like it since.

Each night is short on purpose: one verse from the old King James, one page of plain talk, one honest question, and room on the page to write. If a night takes you a week, it takes a week. The nights don't expire, and nobody is grading you.

For the ones grieving somebody, or something, or some version of a life that didn't arrive - the ones who have been strong all day for other people and have nobody assigned to the night shift. This is not a program. It is a porch, and you can sit on it as long as you need.

A companion to the Burning Hearts novels - and it stands entirely on its own.

The day is far spent. Come in off the road.
