Have you ever picked up a spiritual book, opened it, and
said, "I ought to read this"? I
have; but this is not that book.
There was no ought about it. As soon
as I started, I didn't want to stop…except that I wanted to write this review
on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary so - for that reason only - I took a
break.
Even though each part is written by a different person, each
part that I've read so far has been equally engaging. As the title indicates,
each of many authors takes one word from the Hail Mary to write about. Who
would have thought that reading about the word "of" or the word "the",
for example, would be inspiring? And yet it is! These are highly accessible,
very real, short spiritual essays.
I look forward not only to reading all of it, but also to
reading each essay again and again. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to
preview this book, and although I thought I was getting to read a book for
free, I am now looking forward to buying the paper copy to add to my little library. Thank
you to the writers and especially the editor, Sarah Reinhard, for making this
book happen.
You can order the book, which comes out October 16th, here:
