The Genesis Trilogy: And It Was Good, A Stone for a Pillow, Sold Into Egypt

L'Engle weaves her way through the first major stories in Genesis incorporating personal insight and meditative wisdom.I always come away from her works feeling that I have learned some"thing," some small nugget of a new "thing" about myself.If you are a big, L'Engle fan, you will find some of her material a little redundant. I think she was fond of certain stories from her journals because she uses them liberally in many of her works.If I could have given this 4.5 stars, I would have, but since I was forced to choose between 4 and 5, I cannot downgrade the amount of valuable writing contained in these works.

What a great read for those quiet hours when I want to just ponder on important realities! This goes at about the speed I want when I am meditating. I appreciate L'Engle's style and wisdom and wish I had come to her sooner.

I thank God for Madeleine L'Engle. Her writing is without comparison. This is one of my go-to books when I just need to be reading. My First Testament knowledge is much enhanced because of this trilogy. Anyone who wants to better understand the early stories of relationship between human and creator would do well to give this a try.

I really love L’Engle’s style of writing and perspective. This is a great read!

Genesis and creation from a scholarly devout viewpoint. Challlenge to view in a new way. Always excellent writing. A&&&!

I ordered this first through the library, but decided I had to have my own copy so I can underline and make notes in the margin. She frequently addresses thoughts/questions I've had over the years. Excellent writing!

Gave as a gift and it was a big hit!

Wonderful condition. This was exactly what I was looking for after doing a study on Genesis.
