Editorial Reviews

This is tradition at its richest and deepest. We are allowed to attend and dwell awhile in the conversations between Caryll Houselander and God. Her vision is of the Word made flesh—radiant, simple, child-like, wise, silent and singing in poetry. This book is full of gems. Worthy of a slow, luscious read on dark nights, or before the soft dawn. A gift for yourself, for your friends, your preachers, and your children.

Edwina Gateley

This is a jewel of a book, shimmering in its modesty. It will bring deep delight not only as we behold the wondrous mystery of the Incarnation at Christmas time, but even and especially as we seek to remain open to the gift of God's constant coming throughout the year.
