This was such a relaxing read! It does move at a slow pace, but I still found myself reaching for it whenever I sat next to the stack of books that I’m currently making my way through. It was just what I needed right now.  Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

Watch for the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas by Thomas Merton, Annie Dillard, Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Enjoyable read during Advent and Christmastide. Some readings were better than others, which is to be expected I guess. I did like it overall and will probably make this a yearly read. I can see how some readings will hit differently each year depending on life circumstances or world situations.
