A Light So Lovely: The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine l'Engle, Author of a Wrinkle in Time by Sarah Arthur
5.0
Fans of Madeleine L’Engel, writers, story lovers, or anyone who wants some concepts to chew on will enjoy this read. I love reading books about people. A Light So Lovely was a thought provoking account of Madeline’s spiritual legacy.
I specifically appreciated the description of idols vs icons. And how as Christian’s we are called to be icons to the world—windows through which Christ’s light shines through—not angry glaring spotlights.
I also loved the element of how stories portray truth and how that is just as powerful as fact.
And the last element I really appreciated about this book was the real look at how we are all flawed humans, but that doesn’t disqualify us. We keep on keeping on by God’s grace and that He doesn’t fail and He won’t fail us.
Some favorite quotes:
“Truth sneaks in through the back door of our imaginations. When our defenses are down. When it had a greater chance of changing us from the inside out.”
“The most important thing a mentor can do is believe in you with their whole heart.”
