Mind Soul Ink Paper (and Other Essays On Faith, Reading, and Writing)

In this collection of essays, author Rachel Starr Thomson delves into the heart of writing and reading as a Christian. Thought-provoking and delightful, Mind Soul Ink Paper includes some of Rachel's most popular and eclectic work. Highlights include "Hero Hunting, " "Paint the Light, " and "Beauty and the Beast, " which explore the influence of writers like George MacDonald and Tolkien while sounding a call for Christian fiction that is vibrant and beautiful.
"Fire Words" examines the written work of famous 19th-century missionary Amy Carmichael, ending with a paragraph that sums up the thrust of Thomson's work as well: "It is the eternal in books that makes them our friends and teachers-the paragraphs, the verses, that grip memory and ring down the years like bells, or call like bugles, or sound like trumpets; words of vision that open to us undying things and fix our eyes on them." Other essays collected here include "Mind Soul Ink Paper, " "Living the Past, " and "Our Father."
