A Light So Lovely: The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine l'Engle, Author of a Wrinkle in Time by Sarah Arthur
5.0
“Madeleine showed us how to rejoice in the smallest atom, the farthest galaxy, all the amazing works of our creator—and also to rejoice in the creative tasks God has given us to do.”
So writes Sarah Arthur in this beautiful look at Madeleine L’Engle’s life, including the professional, creative, and the deeply personal. She doesn’t stray from the not so pretty parts of L’Engle’s life, but in doing so she makes this literary (and faith) giant all the more real and tangible for readers. Including reflections from a who’s who of religious publishing was a treat for me personally—like many, I’ve always felt like Madeleine was a friend (given all her many books), but there are many other friends in these pages, too. I’ll be coming back to many snippets from this book again and again.
