I love Eldredge. Did you type that all out??? Phew!
Thanks for the reminder. I should pull that dusty book out!
Hey, I have a proposition! :O) Would you be willing to read the beginning of my novel and offer your opinion?
E-mail me and let me know!
-your sister-
I see you have recently read Dark Night of the Soul. What are your thoughts on it?
When I read it, I really enjoyed it, and it really challenged me to think, and helped give me footing for those times of life.
Have you ever read anything by St. Teresa of Avila? If you up for more classics in Christian mysticism, her works are really valuable.
P.S.- Lorrena McKennitt has a song based on Dark Night of the Soul, although her approach to it is not from within a Christian understanding. Gotta love those pagans 
Anyway, I really like her music, and she creates songs off of famous literature and stuff- she has a song based on The Highwayman, and a 9 minute song for The Lady of Shalot. If you ever wanna borrow a CD, let me know.
Thanks for sharing this. What a challenging passage - I'm sure we all find ourselves in there, at some point - and how very, very true. I'm glad you're posting book stuff on the side - so many of them having me going, ooooohhhh, I want to read that...
mr. monk who is deviant - Dark Night of the Soul = awesome. I'd gladly elaborate more on that with you when I have more time to do so...right now I still need to go on over to your blog and attempt to elaborate on/articulate my previous comment on there.
I read Interior Castle back in the day when I was an undergrad (at Avila University, actually). I'd like to read it again, and some of her other stuff. Are there any in particular that you'd recommend?
Also, I'd definitely like to borrow a pagan-music CD (LOL) from you - I'll send you an email about that shortly.
Sam - I'm glad you like it. I know how you enjoy those kinds of excerpts and quotes, as do I! 
There are so many books I still want to read or re-read, and it seems my want-to-read list is growing faster than I can keep up! I consider that a good "problem" to have, though.
lol- Interior Castle was going to be my suggestion...
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for commenting on The Writing Road blog. I appreciate you commenting. I hope you get everything done to be able to really enjoy Christmas break. I look forward to hearing more about you.
Have fun writing and editing.
I've updated my book list and sidebar to include books I've read in the past that influenced me spiritually in some way. I can't remember all of them right now, though.
