This special reissue of a classic work of spirituality from the author of A Wrinkle in Time offers life-transforming insights on the rich heritage of the Bible and shows how the characters of this ancient text are relevant for living the good life now. Includes a new reader's guide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book for the curious, spiritual seeker, Madeleine L'Engle offers relevant lessons drawn from the life of Jacob from the Old Testament. Here, the son of Isaac becomes a spiritual companion to L'Engle, equipping her to deal with earthly and psychological struggles. Throughout her journey, L'Engle offers contemporary answers to questions that burden modern day readers and believers.\u003cbr\u003e With her customary fearlessness and candor, she broaches such topics as the significance of angels, redemption, sexual identity, forgiveness, and the seemingly constant conflict between good and evil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMadeleine L'Engle possesses the same ambidextrous skill of storytelling as other literary giants, including C. S. Lewis and George MacDonald. Her fictional stories appeal to generations of readers, and are equally embraced in both the secular and religious markets. But, it is her ability in her nonfiction to engage with the historical text of the Bible through a dynamic unpacking of protagonists, antagonists, and matters of faith that establishes the Genesis Trilogy as a highly treasured collection of spiritual writings. A Stone for a Pillow acts as a compass for those traveling through the tumultuous landscape of faith in our cynical and divisive modern culture.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMadeleine L'Engle\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of more than forty-five books for all ages, among them the beloved \u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time, \u003c\/i\u003e awarded the Newbery Medal; \u003ci\u003eA Ring of Endless Light, \u003c\/i\u003e a Newbery Honor Book; \u003ci\u003eA Swiftly Tilting Planet, \u003c\/i\u003e winner of the American Book Award; and the Austin family series of which \u003ci\u003eTroubling a Star\u003c\/i\u003e is the fifth book.
