The Bible presents a landscape rich with characters whose stories and prophecies, wisdom and woes, parables and prayers describe our very human struggle to know and respond to the love of God. Repeated reading and retelling make these texts familiar, and yet we encounter them anew in these fresh, intimate, and sometimes startling reflections by master storyteller Genevieve Glen, OSB.

Sr. Genevieve writes with a vivid and poetic imagination. Drawing on her life of monastic prayer and the practice of Lectio Divina—a life saturated in Scripture—she pulls us deeply into these stories. Sauntering through this holy ground with her we enter small villages and busy towns, sheepfolds and gardens, a nomad’s tent and a rich man’s house, a stable in Bethlehem and the great temple in Jerusalem. Most of all we encounter the transforming message and mercy of God in Jesus Christ.

Industry Reviews

This may be the most delightful journey through Scripture I have ever taken. Sr. Genevieve brings us right into the dusty sheep pens, windy olive groves, and starry, starry nights of ancient Palestine, and then, with great warmth and laser-like insight, offers us the kind of practical spiritual wisdom we have long been seeking and never will forget.Paula Huston, author of One Ordinary Sunday: A Meditation on the Mystery of the Mass
