Things Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith

Whether coping with her brother's battle against cancer, serving communion wine, or questioning the afterlife ("One world at a time"), Gallagher draws us into a world of journeys and mysteries. By braiding together the symbols of the Christian calendar, the events of a year in the life of one church, and her own spiritual journey, Gallagher calls into focus "the world of the almost unknown" as she writes of faith and its meaning, of uncertainty and suffering, grace and commitment in this harrowingly honest memoir.

Thought provoking and profoundly perceptive, "Things Seen and Unseen" is a remarkable demonstration that "the road to the sacred is paved with the ordinary."
