Reviews

This gentle book encourages us to encounter the people and stories of the Bible in our own lives. Glen has a gift for making us see even familiar stories with fresh eyes. As a monastic she is immersed in scripture, day in and day out, and this book strikes me as one fruit of that life. Glen invites us all to share in the wisdom she's gleaned.Kathleen Norris, OblSB Author of Dakota: A Spiritual Geography and The Cloister Walk
