Thing in Heaven and Earth

Exploring the Supernatural

Harold Fickett

The supernatural is a fascinating topic -- probably one that every Christian has wondered about. Harold Fickett is no exception: "I live with a divided mind, poised between faith and doubt, longing for the heavenly and dismayed by its counterfeits."

In Things in Heaven and Earth: Exploring the Supernatural Fickett investigates the mystery at the heart of spirituality: those divine interventions that indicate God's love and care. Fickett gathers the writings of internationally acclaimed authors such as Madeleine L'Engle, Ron Hansen, Doris Betts, Paul Mariani, and Larry Woiwode, who share in detail their thoughts about and experiences with supernatural events. This book flies in the face of scientific skepticism and challenges a society that has gradually come to equate science with truth and faith with ignorance and fanaticism.
