I cannot recommend the beauty, meditation, poetry and lament of this book enough. It will give you theology and praise to ponder and a desire to read more Scripture.

Madeleine L’Engle was very definitely my kind of Christian.

Wonderful. To paraphrase the summary on the sleeve, the book is a reflection on creativity, both divine and human. As always, L'Engle (I want to call her Madeleine, but that seems so presumptuous!) lets us see a stunningly clear snapshot of her world and her life. This book was a delightful balance of the power of word and image.

Definitely some gems in here even though it wasn’t my favorite of her work.

I love Madeleine! Her honesty and wisdom is refreshing to my soul. She has a beautiful faith and sincere compassion for the world, while also fully acknowledging her imperfections. This is a beautiful book in her three part series on the Bible and faith. Madeleine reflects on her unique thoughts and insights on the first stories of the bible, from creation up until Abraham and Isaac. I'm excited to read the next one!
