I used this book as a devotional and series of writing prompts for journaling at 750words.com. I found the format of a quote from Kathleen Norris, a quote from the Bible, silence for meditation, questions to ponder, a psalm fragment to consider, journal refelctions and prayers to be most helpful. I never had a shortage of thigns to write about, thanks to the journal prompts. I liked the choice of quotations from Kathleen Norris' earlier writings, and I foudn myself thinking about the questions and quotations long after the journaling exercises. A good book.
Not for everyone, but a provocative book to read during the Lenten journey as we attempt to re-new and deepen our faith rather than giving up chocolate.
