Madeleine L'Engle

Madeleine L'Engle, the author of one of the best written children's books that I have ever read, has died. A Wrinkle in Time has remained one of my favorite books, even as an adult. If you've never read it, or if it has been a long time, please go out and pick it up today. She was an inspiration to me as a child, through her characters. And she remains an inspiration today. May the world be blessed with another writer who speaks to children in the way she spoke to me.

She was actually a member of our church in NYC. Though by the time we arrived there she was to old to come but everyone would boast about her still being on the books. I loved her stuff.
