Charitable community living is a tall order, and this is but a short book about small moments in one life. Yet these 52 stories confirm a compelling truth; that for human hearts in search of connection there are no small nor insignificant moments.This book is about the grace that lifts and surrounds all those who know they belong. As such, this book is about each of us wherever we live, starting with what we have and who we are, on our own back roads home to fully belonging.
Bradley Gustafson’s Nebraska roots stand out like cornstalks along the back roads of this enchanting collection of reflections on the rich panoply of everyday life. His back roads are replete with 52 pithy accounts of discovering meaning through life’s inevitable vicissitudes that punctuate the tedium of daily living. The author’s focus on the monotonies of everyday life is noteworthy because we tend to become inured—if not indifferent—to the minutiae that surround us. Wm. Blake’s “Auguries of Innocence” expresses the gist of Gustafson’s quest, namely, to “see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower.” This slim volume invites intrepid pilgrims to find meaning in the humdrum endeavors of daily living simply by opening the eyes of their hearts to everyday miracles. Each of his brief stories is charged with truths that connect us with our past, bind us to the present, and point us toward a hopeful future.
