reviewed Medical Progress and Social Reality: A Reader in Nineteenth-Century Medicine and Literature on June 21, 2017 Medical Progress and Social Reality: A Reader in Nineteenth-Century Medicine and Literature
I have many of the volumes in this series and I like them all. I can't just sit down and read these essays and poems straight through, this is a book to savor. There is no question as to why these are picked as the best.
I especially liked the poetry by Cairns, Levine, Hoey and Wright. One of my favorite authors, Kathleen Norris has an essay and I also enjoyed Natalie Goldberg. It is hard to pick the essays I liked the best, but Robin Cody's was amazing and Miroslav Volf's essay on God's shining face will be giving me food for thought for awhile.
If you are looking for an eclectic collection of essays, that somehow fit the definition of spiritual writing, this is the series for you. If you are interested in good, thought-provoking writing, this is also for you. The theme "spiritual seems to encompass a wide range of writing.
