Reviews
This excellent resource for daily meditation has the distinct advantage of being composed of excerpts chosen from one of the most graceful and profound writers working today. Compiler Chase, with the author's assistance, has chosen superbly from L'Engle's rich repository of nonfiction, fiction and poetry. Selections from each genre, while presented as daily readings, flow well, moving smoothly from one day's reading into the next. Fiction passages are inherently more difficult to render in stand-alone format, but here, with Chase's introductions, they are as effective in most instances as are the other selections. Chase has also provided an index by title and topic, a complete bibliography of L'Engle's works and a source index for those readers who wish to explore L'Engle's writings more fully.

The beauty and lyricism that characterize the writings of L'Engle, perhaps best known for her children's books (e.g., A Wrinkle in Time) are captured vividly in this loving collection of excerpts from her novels, poems, and other writings. Chase (Madeleine L'Engle, Suncatcher, LuraMedia, 1995) has selected and arranged these pieces into a daily companion for the entire year. All readers will mine great wealth from these daily excursions into L'Engle's rich and gracious spiritual writing.
