Title: DEPRESSING AND BORING
Product review: Our church book club selected this; our high hopes have been dashed (aside from one reader who proclaims it the best book we have studied!). Hammarskjold's random musings lack context; where was he in his life exactly? He seems depressed at every turn. We suspect an inability to define his need for love (perhaps homosexual?). We read 30 pages per week, but the topics never change. His self-loathing dominates. An occasional pearl does emerge: "God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason." p. 56
