Books like A book of peace by Elizabeth Goudge


Elizabeth Goudge writes in her Preface: "Never have we longed for peace as we do now, when we are in danger of having our minds and souls battered to a uniform pulp. But in our much greater need we turn to the same sources of peace as our forefathers did..to painting or gardening or whatever creative work brings us self-forgetfulness, to fire-lit homes and all the human love and friendship they stand for. And to the peace of the eternal mystery". In this very personal anthology of poetry and prose Elizabeth Goudge has given us a beautiful book that is at once understanding and optimistic, meaningful and moving. It is bound to appeal to many people in many different ways, not least to those who already know Elizabeth Goudge's famous novels.
