I like to think her non-fiction brought me back from the edge of disbelief by helping me come to grips with the bigness of God!

But I remember that it was almost glossed over in passing, and I thought, hey, wait a minute, that's pretty significant.<BR/><BR/>BTW, this was another item that I thought about blogging about but decided to save to use as a CT column.Al Hsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407264726681695790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-5602085855501151872008-06-19T14:40:00.000-05:002008-06-19T14:40:00.000-05:00Never ever heard the grace vs. peace distinction b...Never ever heard the grace vs. peace distinction before, but it's the kind of thing I always would have wanted to find out about Christianity. ;o) It's those little details-- that intentionality and consistency with an amazing vision for God's kingdom-- in the gospel and its early proclamation that make me sigh in awe and make me want to give my life to Jesus.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739905207888101496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-76429376051602135862008-06-18T11:43:00.000-05:002008-06-18T11:43:00.000-05:00Yes, I met Madeleine L'Engle in person in the mid-...Yes, I met Madeleine L'Engle in person in the mid-90s when she was speaking at Wheaton College for some conference, I think.
