Maribeth Barber’s Reviews > Book Girl: A Journey through the Treasures and Transforming Power of a Reading Life > Status Update

"A woman who reads is a woman who ponders, who knows the holy secret of time spent in quiet, the power that comes from stepping back from the madness of screen and email, schedule and headline, to seek an inner place of hush in which she may know her own heart and the voice of the Holy Spirit afresh."

Chapter 6, "Books Can Cultivate the Imagination," is SPOT ON!!!! "To reject image, creation, and story as peripheral to faith is to ignore the way God created us--as beings made in his imagine to create in our turn, as souls capable of both reason and analysis but also equally capable of imagination, creativity, and emotion."
