“Rejoice with those who rejoice." I have found that difficult too often. I was much better at weeping with those who weep.”
A quiet unfolding of a pastor’s mind. Gilead is less a letter to a son than an overflow of interior thought — theological, tender, and deeply vulnerable. Memory, present reflection, and fragile hope for the future move together like scaffolding, moment to moment, without urgency or spectacle. This is a novel that does not tell a story so much as it allows you to sit inside a soul.
