This is one of L'Engle's non-fiction works, somewhat in the style of the Crosswicks journals in so far as it is semi-autobiographical and is more a set of reflections than the development of a thesis. I would have had more to say about it two weeks ago, but for now I will just say that I enjoyed it as I enjoy most L'Engle works.
In this book, Madeleine L'Engle tells of her spiritual journey through her life experiences and relating them to the mystery of incarnation that is the life of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ.
You really have to slow down to read it, but if you do, you will not be disappointed.
L'Engle contemplates the mystery and majesty of Jesus Christ coming to earth as man.
