Heather King does an excellent job at taking her peculiar life experiences and transforming them into thought-provoking meditations of one or two pages. This book is a reprint of texts she's contributed to Magnificat and its publications over the last three years, so its contents may be familiar to subscribers, but most bear the second reading surprisingly well. A few of these are absolute gems!
