Book Reviews January 15, 2012

I believe that almost nothing is worth doing unless you can buy a book about it before you start. I almost always need a good book to get started.

I love reading good books, and talking about them with the people who write them and read them.  Even when I read them on my iPad, I appreciate the way a well written book gets me to pay attention, engages my imagination, sparks things for me to think about, and persuades me to understand things in new ways.  Good writing includes passion and craft, well-turned phrases and well-considered ideas.

Sharing the books I love and the lessons I learn from them is important to me. I recommend books to quite a few people. Describing why someone might be interested in a book and the benefits they might receive from reading it helps me remember the gifts I received through it, and gain new insights from what I have read.

Here are some of the most recent book reviews I have published:

Prayer in the Cave of the Heart

A Sunlit Absence
