Author Madeleine L'Engle goes home

If my religion is true, it will stand up to all my questioning; there is no need to fear.
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007)

She passed away this last week, living behind hundreds of thousands of admirers. In writing, she believed a greater spirit of creativity came alive that almost mystically wrote through her. In her Christian faith, she embraced the tension of loving Jesus and being creative, pushing all the envelopes, never caring what others thought. She made us think deeper and broader, more critically and more openly. She will be missed.

Don't miss her beautiful little book Walking on Water.
