Reviews
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
