  1. Congratulations on the book and the nice review.

    I just started reading the book in the last couple of days. In size, it seems such a little bit of a book – but frankly the richness of it is betrayed by its small size. Thought-provoking and warranting patience for reflection and contemplation. Thanks for this beautiful offering.

    xoxo

  2. A wonderful review, Christine. I particularly like the bits and pieces of pull-out quotes that give some representation to the breadth and depth of your book.

    You might be interested in the book I reviewed yesterday on my blog.

    Blessings in this Easter season.
