We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes.... - Madeleine L’Engle, from The Rock That Is Higher

Story captures our hearts and feeds our imaginations. It reminds us who we are and where we came from. Story gives meaning and direction to our lives as we learn to see it as an affirmation of God’s love and truth - an acknowledgment of our longing for a rock in the midst of life’s wilderness.

Drawing upon her own experiences, well-known tales in literature, and selected narratives from Scripture, Madeleine L’Engle gently leads the way into the glorious world of story in The Rock That Is Higher. Here she acknowledges universal human longings and considers how literature, Scripture, personal stories, and life experiences all point us toward our true home.

Love Madeleine L'Engle. Love this book.
I love Ms. L'Engle's nonfiction even more than her fiction - this book is beautiful.

Outstanding look at the truth in story and myth. Reading this book is a joy. It is almost like talking to Madeleine face to face. She wrote this book soon after she recovered from a serious car accident and while she was working on research into the life of David. She speaks of how the Bible is filled with stories (and myths), but that doesn't not mean that it isn't true, because story is a great way to learn truth about God, ourselves, and our lives as children of a Loving God.

Chose this for spiritual inspiration. Very good in that dept. Have read many of Madeleine L'Engle books over the years and like her easy to read style. Still gets across wise and sound truths.
The book is in excellent condition with original jacket cover. Delivered way before estimated date.

L'Engle is a writer who will go down in history, in my humble opinion. Some of her words have effected me profoundly and positively. Our planet is richer for the Blessing of having her on it!!

Great for book group

Reviewed in the United States on 26 August 2013

We are LOVING this old, but great, book in my women's book group. L'Engle presents her ideas and faith clearly and poignantly but without threat to those that may not share her views. It creates excellent discussion in our group even without a study guide. We are only half way through but already looking for other books by her to read. This one will definitely stay on my shelf!
