A beautiful collection of inspirational wisdom and
reflections—guaranteed to fill open hearts with the wonder of
Christ's presenc and warmth during these special seasons of
grace.
*Edwina Gateley, poet and author*
This is a jewel of a book, shimmering in its modesty. It will bring
deep delight not only as we behold the wondrous mystery of the
Incarnation at Christmas time, but even and especially as we seek
to remain open to the gift of God's constant coming throughout the
year.
*Michael Downey, author and professor of theology and
spirituality*
This is tradition at its richest and deepest. We are allowed to
attend and dwell awhile in the conversations between Caryll
Houselander and God. Her vision is of the Word made flesh—radiant,
simple, child-like, wise, silent and singing in poetry. This book
is full of gems. Worthy of a slow, luscious read on dark nights, or
before the soft dawn. A gift for yourself, for your friends, your
preachers, and your children.
*Megan McKenna, theologian, poet and author*
