This book is not only beautiful on the outside, it is inspiring on the inside! I have bought about 25 copies to hand out to friends, and each person receiving the book is amazed at the research involved in the composition of the book and the elegance of the presentation. Many of these friends have then turned around and purchased their own copies to give away to friends. I recommend this book highly!

INCANDESCENCE is a beautiful collection of translated meditations that are both heartwarming and stirring. Carmen Butcher has done a terrific job of compiling so many personal experiences of such interesting women in history. The short biographies at the end of the book give you a glimpse of their place in history and provide a relevant backdrop for their personal meditations. This book provides spiritual food for the most learned scholar and the babe in Christ. Although it was written as a daily meditation, I was so captivated that I found myself reading on ahead, enthralled by these contemplations. Carmen Butcher, through these translations, encourages the individual soul who seeks the enrichment of a life hid with Christ in God. Terrific Devotional!!
