Glimpses of Grace
Glimpses of Grace: Daily Thoughts and Reflections | Madeleine L'Engle
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
For half a century, Madeleine L'Engle has spun magic with words, touching millions of lives and earning a devoted readership with her award-winning fiction, candid reflections on her personal and family life and graceful meditations on faith. Now, Glimpses of Grace captures the essence of L'Engle's literary gift in one unprecedented volume. Ranging freely throughout L'Engle's remarkable lifework of more than 40 volumes of fiction and nonfiction, adventure stories, family dramas, autobiography and religious commentary, editor Carole P. Chase has collected evocative passages and arranged them as daily readings that offer illuminating bits of wisdom, provocative insight, and, above all, engaging and intelligent daily inspiration. With enduring power and resonance, each of these 366 rich selections speaks to the simple joys and sorrows of daily life and the deepest questions of the human heart and spirit, while reflecting the exhilarating artistry of one of the most spiritually alive and articulate storytellers of this century.

Tonight, I'm simply exhausted. I worked hard all day, mostly on a review of a translation of informed consent documentation for a Covid-19 clinical trial, and finishing off editing a research project report for a client which was sooooo badly written. I recently got some great Christian spirituality books from my spiritual director and these Madeleine L'Engle devotions was one of them.

#QuotsyJune18 Day 25: Because to #Manipulate another is to strip them of the capacity to choose for themselves. Seems to be happening a lot recently with fake news as a form of insidious manipulation.

#QuotsyMarch18 Day 13: L‘Engle is known for being a spiritual author, quite similar to C. S. Lewis, Here, she talks about how science has #Failed humanity. I am reminded of our new President in my current University where I am teaching, setting up a new Institute of Science and Technology for Humanity. In his recent Inauguration Speech, he talked about poetry of engineering, the psychology of technology, and what it means to be human.
