Just in time for the arrival of summer comes a new book from Calvin College
professors Gary Schmidt and Susan Felch called "Summer: A Spiritual Biography
of the Season."
It is the third in a series from Schmidt and Felch that explores the spiritual
qualities of the seasons.
Summer is a compilation of essays, poems, prayers and sacred writings that
rummages freely among various cultures and religious traditions, from G. K.
Chesterton's ruminations about drawing with chalk to Madeleine L'Engle's
graver meditations at the deathbed of her mother to Japanese poet Tada
Chimako's observations about fish.
"These pieces are not about summer so much as they embody summer," says a
recent Publisher's Weekly starred review of the book.
