Talking of Michelangelo: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell in the Burgundy Region - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In Talking of Michelangelo, Peter A. Giersch offers a bracingly honest spiritual memoir. What begins as a weeklong retreat in a Burgundian monastery becomes a deep and sometimes harrowing journey through faith, art, and the human heart. Confronted by silence and solitude, Giersch experiences his own "dark night of the soul," wrestling with belief, mortality, and the mysteries of God.
Written with the searching candor of a modern pilgrim and the literary grace of a poet, Talking of Michelangelo blends cultural reflection with spiritual confession. From T. S. Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," to the echoes of the Four Last Things--death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell--Giersch illuminates how beauty, doubt, and grace intertwine in the life of every believer.
At once witty and profound, contemporary yet timeless, this is a book for all who have ever longed for faith to feel real again--and who have discovered that God sometimes speaks loudest in the silence of the soul.

Talking of Michelangelo (Paperback)
Vendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. So you go to France for your fortieth birthday for a quiet time of prayer, good wine, and a peaceful monastic experience. What could possibly go wrong? In this bracingly honest and unexpectedly funny narrative, Peter Giersch recounts the journey that began as a simple getaway but evolved into the most transformative experience of his life. Follow the author as he takes you from the bustling streets of Paris to a secluded monastery in the Burgundy region -- and then into the depths of a "dark night of the soul" that threatens the very foundations of his faith. Part travelogue and part spiritual memoir, Giersch ponders the existential imperative in conversation with the great minds of Western civilization and twentieth-century pop culture. Blending vivid storytelling and unfiltered candor, Giersch's story reflects J. D. Salinger's first-person conversational style and C. S. Lewis's intellectual approach to the Faith, making it a sort of Catcher in the Rye meets Mere Christianity, which dares to voice the deepest doubts and questions we've all been grappling with. As his Ignatian retreat becomes a battleground of faith and doubt, Giersch grapples with the hardest issues -- sex, sin, suffering, and mortality -- and discovers that God is far more patient, creative, and mischievously loving than we ever imagined. The result is a gorgeous literary memoir that is brutally honest and relentlessly hopeful. For anyone who has ever sought God at the intersection of the secular world and the inner life, for anyone who has ever longed to figure out where God is hiding in the chaos of the twenty-first century, this book will bring clarity to the questions and joy in the answers.
