Here's what reviewers and readers are saying...
Like a neighborly conversation across a kitchen table, this slender
volume emphasizes the mundane details of daily life as they are
enlightened by being attentive to the Spirit of God .... Brimming with
homely parables of spiritual illumination found in museum exhibits,
snowstorms or the expression on his beloved wife Nancy's face (she
appears quite frequently), the book is punctuated with frequent
'illuminating moments' or questions intended to evoke reflection.
-- Publishers Weekly
J. Brent Bill, a Quaker, has done a wonderful job exploring the theme
of light in this paperback packed with quotations, hymn lyrics, poems,
and meditations on art and culture.... Mind the Light is one of the Best
Spiritual Books of the Year.
-- Spirituality and Practice
If you've never encountered Quaker writer J. Brent Bill, you're in for a
treat! Trying to capture traditional spiritual gifts from the Quaker
movement, Bill writes wonder-filled little guides to reflection. ... . If you
try "Mind the Light" and like it, then you're sure to enjoy his earlier
book "Holy Silence," as well.
-- Spirit Scholars
... a charming and unassuming volume of spiritual reflection from the
hand of Bill (Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality), a Friends
minister in Indiana. .... Bill's book simply and gracefully delineates
sources of Light in the world and nature that connect to the believer's
own inner experience of Light.
