Back in November, I visited Austin, TX and grabbed this book in a cute little church coffee shop... and I juuuuust now actually finished it. I’ve loved her fiction books but have especially loved her faith/memoir writing (like When the Heart Waits). This one is a really personal account of her journey into discovering more of God’s love in her life— a love that is so much less about doing and more about being. It did feel a little dated (it was first published in the 80s), but I found it refreshing to have less references to technology and a more simple and natural approach to slowing down and experiencing more of God’s love through solitude, family, nature, prayer, etc. I wasn’t wowed by it (and clearly wasn’t super motivated to keep reading it often), but did find many encouraging snippets throughout and found it to be a good reminder to slow down, be still, and know that God is God.
