I would have to say that this is one of my new favorite books that will remain in my annual rotation for years to come. I did not read it as a daily devotional, but rather in sips and gulps as I needed spiritual refreshment during the past couple of months. It is full of L'Engle's unique spiritual reflections on God, Christianity, spirituality, and humanity, written through the lens of her vast personal anthology. Daily reflections are pulled from several of her works of literature varying from ...more
Daily devotional that I use every day and have for a couple years now. Never gets old.
I expected something more unique and it is mostly excerpts from her books.
an excerpt a day from madeline l'engle -- what could be better than that?!
Carole Chase compiled excerpts from L'Engle's books, both fiction and non-fiction, to create a book of daily meditations. The subjects somewhat coincide with the church calendar. It's nice if you are familiar with L'Engle's characters and storylines, but if you aren't you might miss the larger meaning on some days. As daily devotional books go, it would have to be one of my favorites.

If you like Madeleine L'Engle and enjoy having a daily reflection or meditation of some sort, this is a great read. However, it leaves you wanting to know and read more, whether it's of her books or of the God she describes, so if you can handle the tension of a book leaving you with a desire you are not sure how to fulfill, then grab it.
Recommended for readers already familiar with Madeleine L'Engle's spiritual writings. Carole Chase has carefully put together a devotional-style book with a reading for each day of the year. Good for quick sips of a favorite author's words.
Another of her books that I read all the time. I had never read her children's books but had to after reading the quotes from them in this book.
A treasure and a thank you to my sister who gave to me as a birthday gift.

This is a great collection of quotes from Madeleine's books - beautiful, thought-provoking words for every day of the year. I've been reading it nearly all year and finally decided to review it. :)
I started this book at the beginning of the year and it is wonderful. I truly look forward to reading it each day.
this is a really nice compilation of excerpts from her books. i'm really enjoying it.
Madeleine always has wise words of wisdom to share.
