Description
Reflections from the Scorched Earth compiles Walker's reflections and reactions as he searches for the God of hope in the midst of enormous suffering and deep despair. It tells poignant, sad, yet hopeful stories in a mix of diary entries and arresting narrative. Despite the horrors he has faced, again and again Ed is able to discern "the glimmering shadow of God at work amidst the madness."
