Frederick Buechner Quotes

Let Him Tell Them The Truth. Before The Gospel Is A Word, It Is Silence. It Is The Silence Of Their Own Lives And Of His Life. It Is Life With The Sound Turned Off So That For A Moment Or Two You Can Experience It Not In Terms Of The Words You Make It Bearable By But For The Unutterable Mystery That It Is. Let Him Say, "Be Silent And Know That I Am God" (Psalm 46:10). Be Silent And Know That Even By My Silence And Absence I Am Known. Be Silent And Listen To The Stones Cry Out.
Out Of The Silence Let The Only Real News Comes, Which Is Sad News Before It Is Glad News And That Is Fairy Tale Last Of All.
