Customer Reviews

visual and poetic theology

I must say at the outset that I love Madeleine L'engle for many reasons but chiefly, inspires me as both an artist and theologian. Here is a short collection of her meditations on Old Testament stories accompanied by children's illustrations of the story chosen from an international competition. It is indeed a treasure of theological insight from both elder and child. It is as the cover says, "The result is a delight for the eye and an inspired reminder of the glory and struggle of God's people." If I had children, I can imagine using this book to inspire them to create their own images of biblical narratives.
