Sauntering Through Scripture: A Book of Reflections

by Genevieve Glen

The Bible presents a landscape rich with characters whose stories and prophecies, wisdom and woes, parables and prayers describe our very human struggle to know and respond to the love of God. Repeated reading and retelling make these texts familiar, and yet we encounter them anew in these fresh, intimate, and sometimes startling reflections by master storyteller Genevieve Glen, OSB. 

Sr. Genevieve writes with a vivid and poetic imagination. Drawing on her life of monastic prayer and the practice of Lectio Divina—a life saturated in Scripture—she pulls us deeply into these stories. Sauntering through this holy ground with her we enter small villages and busy towns, sheepfolds and gardens, a nomad’s tent and a rich man’s house, a stable in Bethlehem and the great temple in Jerusalem. Most of all we encounter the transforming message and mercy of God in Jesus Christ.

This is another book I would like to own. This is a nice, quick series of reflections from Sister Genevieve. Each had an insightful nugget of wisdom. I feel like different sections would speak to me at different times. If you want a quick read that covers lots of spiritual ground, I would encourage you to pick this book up.

A series of short (mostly 1-3 pages) reflections about different parts of the Bible or Catholic tradition. Probably best consumed in small bits not read straight through. I read over 4-5 sittings which felt about right.
