Publisher's Summary

We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes.... - Madeleine L’Engle, from The Rock That Is Higher

Story captures our hearts and feeds our imaginations. It reminds us who we are and where we came from. Story gives meaning and direction to our lives as we learn to see it as an affirmation of God’s love and truth - an acknowledgment of our longing for a rock in the midst of life’s wilderness.

Drawing upon her own experiences, well-known tales in literature, and selected narratives from Scripture, Madeleine L’Engle gently leads the way into the glorious world of story in The Rock That Is Higher. Here she acknowledges universal human longings and considers how literature, Scripture, personal stories, and life experiences all point us toward our true home.

A creative and spiritual life changer

Madeleine L'Engle originally published this in the 90s, yet it reads like the here and now. She was always ahead of her time as a thinker, storyteller, truth lover, and in her Christian spirituality. The weaving of words and story in this book I found accessible in ways that apply to my life. Her writing is most engaging, and her thinking is exhilarating! The narrator, Pamela Almand I found very easy to listen to - her voice suits the book so well! I will be listening to this one again and again. I don't want to miss a morsel! On to other L'Engle books (also read by Ms Almand)!
