Sister Genevieve Glen invites us to read with her in the lamplight, to be enlightened by a 'small, warm, and friendly flame,' which is the divine Presence. She uses poetry, history, and her own life experience to give us a new way of looking at familiar biblical stories and personalities. What shines out under this lamplight is her prayerful reflection from many years of living with the word of God.
