Publisher's Description
English teachers Knol and Karsten have composed these moving reflections inspired by a wide range of writers, many of whom they have brought into their classrooms. And while some of their selections will no doubt be familiar to the reader, each of these meditations will kindle new insights. Attuned to the power of the written word, these seasoned teachers contemplate sacred themes, exploring passages from books that they love in light of passages from Scripture.
Endorsements (4)
“These meditations are fresh and savvy, deeply revealing of the human condition and full of quiet surprises that delight the reader. Fascinating!”
“What a wonderful idea: take a short passage from a literary work, compose a brief meditation on the theme of the passage, and conclude with a text from Scripture that encapsulates the meditation. . . . Knol and Karsten bring it off with deftness, grace, empathy, and insight. It’s a treasure.”
“This book is spun out of the long-practiced craft of making connections. It emerges from years invested in connecting the spy holes into the world provided by literature, the anchor points offered by Scripture, and the need of learners of all ages for fresh glimpses of the horizon. You will find in it a web of compassion and insight that might just tingle your truth receptors and leave you newly centered.”
“This book offers you intimate conversations with classic literary figures that will remind you of the wisest questions to ask yourself. It belongs on every nightstand.”
