With the release of the movie, “A Wrinkle in Time” stirring up controversy in the Christian community, it seems Sarah Arthur’s, A Light So Lovely: The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine L’Engle might provide valuable insight. It doesn’t.
In her book, Arthur points to L’Engle as a highly intellectual and unique person. The failure lies in the delivery. Readers first grasp the idea the book might be difficult to follow in the foreword, it is written like a graduate-level textbook, challenging to absorb. One hopes the book will shift gears into an easier to digest morsel, but it never does.
I was intrigued by the concept and really wanted to become an L’Engle champion, but the book was a disappointment.
