I owe a great debt to a man I will likely never meet–Frederick Buechner is the single most significant influence on my writing. If I am able to be one-tenth of the author Buechner is, I will deem my writing a great success. You will find several Buechner quotes in my newly released book, Ordinary Glory: Finding Grace in the Commonplace. Thank you Mr. Buechner for your ongoing influence in many lives, including my own.
