The Spiral Staircase

My Climb Out Of Darkness

BY KAREN ARMSTRONG

Brief Description:
"If it were simply a narrative of a life resolving itself into extraordinary achievement, The Spiral Staircase would be enough. But it also portrays lyrically the tender relationship with her young autistic friend, Jacob; her adventures in the Holy Land; and her discovery at last, while writing A History of God, that theology could speak to her, as poetry does, in silence.. Armstrong's own understanding of God, with which she concludes, may not be for everyone. But those who believe the world needs `not belief, not certainty, but compassionate action,' will find here words to live by."-The United Church Observer
