An ordained Presbyterian minister who has been hailed by the Boston Globe as "one of our finest writers," Frederick Buechner is the author of 30 works of fiction and nonfiction. His work has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize (Godric) and the National Book Award (Lion Country) and he has been honored by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He divides his time between Vermont and Florida.
“Frederick Buechner brings the reader to his knees, sometimes in
laughter, sometimes in an astonishment very close to prayer, and at
the best of times in a combination of both.”
*- The New York Times Book Review*
“Frederick Buechner doesn’t just show us how to write; he shows us
how to live.”
*– Philip Yancey*
“Frederick Buechner gives new life to Christian truth.”
*– Katelyn Beaty*
“Frederick Buechner has inspired me not only with his writing, but
with his generosity of spirit. I’m incredibly thankful.”
*– Rachel Held Evans*
“Frederick Buechner is a beacon. When we can’t remember what is
true and what it all means, he’s the person we turn to.”
*– Anne Lamott*
“Frederick Buechner is not just a wordsmith but an image-smith –
he’s the bridge between Gutenberg and Google.”
* – Len Sweet*
“He isn’t trying to persuade – he’s trying to understand what he
himself believes and thinks. And that honesty is more persuasive
than the most polished argument.”
*– John Ortberg*
“He raises the bar not only for Christian writers, but for all of
literature.”
*– Mako Fujimura*
“If Frederick Buechner subordinated his nature and chose to write
on naughts and nothings, he would still exalt his readers. When he
is in representative harmony and writes of the accessibility of God
to humanity and of humanity’s agreement with its potential
divinity, we, the readers, are lifted up, buoyed up, and promised
wholeness.”
* - Maya Angelou*
“To each new generation, his work is a revelation.”
*- The Lutheran*
“With profound intelligence, Buechner’s novel does what the finest,
most appealing literature does: it displays and illuminates the
seemingly unrelated mysteries of human character and ultimate
ideas... One of our finest writers.”
*- Annie Dillard, Boston Globe*
“You don’t have to be in the habit of going to church to listen to
such a literary minister; you don’t have to be a believer to be
moved by Mr. Buechner’s faith.”
*- John Irving*
