Reviews:

The Chrysostom Society is a group of some 30 contemporary Christian authors (with the word Christian used in its broadest context, from evangelical to liberal). In this collection, 17 of them--including Madeleine L'Engle, William Griffin, Karen Burton Mains, and Larry Woiwode--write about their personal literary and spiritual mentors, from John Milton to Ray Bradbury, from John Donne to Flannery O'Connor. The individual essays are as diverse as their authors and subjects but ultimately focus on the reality of the human condition and the transcendence of both art and faith. The book is a personal survey of the world's great literature and should be of special interest to aspiring writers.
