| Résumé : |
** **Based on an acclaimed TV series**, this illuminating collection of portraits brings to life seven men in search of God--seven maverick thinkers whose seeking for Christian discipleship make for unforgettable reading. **Saint Augustine**, a headstrong young hedonist and speechwriter who turned his back on money and prestige in order to serve Christ... Blaise Pascal, a brilliant scientist who warned people against thinking they could live without God... **William Blake**, a magnificent artist and poet who pled passionately for the life of the spirit and foresaw the plight that materialism would usher in... **Soren Kierkegaard**, a renegade philosopher who spent most of his life at odds with the church, and insisted that every person must find his own way to God... **Fyodor Dostoevsky**, a debt-ridden writer and sometime prisoner who found, in the midst of squalor and political turmoil, the still small voice of God... **Leo Tolstoy**, a grand old novelist who swung between idealism and depression, loneliness and fame--and a dual awareness of his sinfulness and God's grace. **Dietrich Bonhoeffer**, a pastor whose writings--and agonized involvement in a plot to kill Hitler--cost him his life, but continue to inspire millions. ** |
