Didn’t Like It “My expectations were not meet in this book. I friend recommended it, and usually those recommendations are spot on. The randomness of the book couldn't keep my attention. I guess that happens when you walk on water.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“As expected from one of the queens of the fantasy genre, EXCELLENT! Go read it, even if you aren't a Christian, because it's about faith....and there's good stuff in there for everyone.”

“Wow. Definitely a life changing book for me. It didn't so much change my views as epitomize and define them. L'Engle isn't quite as eloquent as C.S. Lewis, but undoubtably as profound. I loved every minute of it.”

Yes | No“I thought this was a profound exploration of what it means to be an artist and a believer, and how to serve your gift. There were so many good ideas that I know I will have to read this book over and over again to really absorb all that L'Engle is saying. I highly, highly recommend it.”

“This is a book to come back to every few years as your life and perspectives change. I found out today that Madeline L'Engle has died, at 88 years of age. Since reading this book I wanted to write her a letter and tell her that a book she wrote the year I was born had such an impact on me 25-28 years later.”

“i was raised a christian and growing up southern baptist, i was taught to feel very conflicted about the arts. my gifts were in the creative arts, and it was always a struggle to not be made to feel "worldly" and selfish to pursue a life in the arts. madeline l'engle has written a gorgeous book that redeems the arts and is a psychology book for those struggling to reconcile their art with faith. beautifully done.”
