A Cry Like a Bell (Wheaton Literary Series)

Rating:
Summary: Adds depth to stories of Biblical characters
Review: A Cry Like a Bell is a book of poems from the point of view of Biblical "characters", including animals (such as the ram caught in the thicket in the story of Abraham and Isaac). Madeleine L'Engle's ability to present things from the heart of each person, from Eve and Moses to Mary Magdalene and Barnabas, adds emotion and depth to the stories. The thoughts of characters who are merely mentioned in the Bible gave me the most to consider and empathize with. The fifth star in the rating is missing due to the comparison to her best works (such as Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art, my personal favorite).

Summary: Exellent
Review: This was a wonderful book. It followed Madeliene L'Engles writting style. It was discriptive interesting and entertaining. You won't be able to put it down. If you liked her other books you will difinetly love this one.
