One reason for Kelly’s broad appeal lies in his understanding of the “seeker.” He knows that many of us, both inside and outside of the church, long for something more than the “common, mild, gentle, half-hearted conventional religiosity” which we so often experience. We want authentic, vital, life-changing faith. He also knows that our dissatisfaction is born less of spiritual blindness than of a vision of something greater, a vision engendered by God’s gracious Presence itself. “We are all seekers, ” he says, “for we feel that we are sought.” But, most of all, Kelly assures us that what we long for is indeed possible. In doing so, he gives us witness rather than argument, description rather than definition. — from the Foreword, by Howard Macy
