Between the Dark and the Daylight by Joan Chittister

Quite beautiful, and a very thoughtful look at several poignant matters. Joan Chittister's approach is interesting, yet I found it a bit vague and distant - almost a clinical look at the issues.

This perhaps is a book that is worth reading during the good times and then reflecting upon in dark times. There is a lot of truth offered, yet the book is just a little too heady to offer any real comfort to a sufferer. I suppose that these are concepts to learn in the light so that we have something to hold on to when the darkness comes.

Chittiser does write beautifully, and she expresses concepts in a very poetic, profound way that will stick with you. You may find yourself mulling over phrases or ideas days later.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
