Originally published in 1941; this book by the renowned British mystic and spiritual writer Caryll Houselander is once again new as modern readers learn from Houselander's encouragement of her compatriots to view their experience of World War II through the lens of Christ's passion. Writing with the intensity and immediacy of life in London during the blitz; Houselander's thought-provoking reflections continue to speak to believers today about the complex challenge they face to find Christ in the midst of the War on Terror. Writing in the tradition of Julian of Norwich; Catherine of Siena; and Teresa of Avila; Houselander's words resonate with Christians today regardless of their perspective on theology and the Church.

I thought it was aboutBelgians in other parts of Michigan as well. I am glad that I read the book; but I would have lovedto have a wider region covered.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Book. Sentimental read for my Belgian relatives.By MominatorThis is a thorough and accurate book. My Belgian granny said; "It's all true." That is good enough for me.
