The Youngest Day: Shelter Island's Seasons in the Light of Grace

The Youngest Day: Shelter Island's Seasons in the Light of Grace

Journey through the Four Last Things—death, judgment, hell, and heaven—with Robert Farrar Capon in this theological tour of Shelter Island's seasons. When it comes to grace, no one writes with more elegance, humor, and well, grace, than Robert Farrar Capon. Since his first publication hit shelves in 1963, Robert’s voice has served as one of the guiding lights for the Christian faith from generation to generation. Now, in one of his most intimate works, Robert welcomes readers young and old to join him at his home on Shelter Island, NY, for a series of reflections on the seasons and the nature of God’s divine love. Originally published in 1983, this slim, poetic volume offers some of the sweetest, most evergreen musings in the Capon canon. He begins, “If you are in the habit of associating resurrection only with spring, if you think of winter as somehow incompatible with rebirth—let me show you something…” "Robert Capon is the High Priest of grace... In this book we find a master theologian at the top of his game." - Dr. William McNabb, Piedmont Community Church "[Capon] says to us, come walk with me, we'll wander and look for miracles." - Terry Hershey, a uthor of The Power of Pause "Dive into the deep end of the Robert Capon pool, and you will be blest! He is for all times an 'embarrassment of riches.'" - Dr. Richard A. Wing, Minister (United Church of Christ)
