And Yet . . .

“I suspect . . . that for Pedro, to write is to pray, which is why And Yet . . . is in truth a prayer book. This is a splendid collection, a precious gift to me as a seeker of honesty, compassion, and sacred truth.”


—Carter Heyward, Howard Chandler Robbins Professor of Theology, retired, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts





“The itinerary this book traces of an agnostic, zigzagging soul is nonetheless intensely spiritual—moving, even overwhelming—in its truthfulness. Many readers will identify with the author’s confessions, whose Augustinian tone is readily perceived.”


—Luce López-Baralt, Distinguished Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literatures at the University of Puerto Rico—Río Piedras; world-renowned for her study of comparative mysticism and of the traces of Islam in Spanish literature





“Neither lightning nor faith can be caught in a bottle. Regarding the latter, . . . nor a creed, a vigorous moral code, a precise ritual practice, or a particular emotive temperament. Faith requires more dexterity, a willingness to wander, a capacity for wonder. ‘For the world has grown full of peril,’ Galadriel said in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Nevertheless, ‘hope remains while the company is true.’ Pedro Sandín-Fremaint is true company.”


—Ken Sehested, author of In the Land of the Willing: Litanies, Prayers, Poems, and Benedictions
