She continues this tradition with Bright Evening Star, a personal reflection of the mystery and majesty of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.

With a foreword by John Tesh, L'Engle invites us on a spiritual adventure that leads to hope, joy, and a closer relationship with Jesus. "Christmas," says Madeleine L'Engle, "should be a time of awed silence." If you're looking for a unique and Christ-centered Christmas meditation, Bright Evening Star will be a rich and delightful discovery -- year round!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"That was a strange thought: God, who is all power, gave away power!" Thus L'Engle encapsulates what she calls the "mystery" of God's incarnation in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. In what is part spiritual autobiography and part theological treatise, L'Engle writes with her familiar, felicitous prose. Throughout, she reflects on "God's rejection of power," describing the Incarnation as a radical, marvelous paradox. At book's end, readers may agree with L'Engle that "the Incarnation is so far beyond our factual comprehension as to be laughable," yet her writing will also have broadened their understanding of this mystery.
