“Patches of Godlight”
There are a lot of quotations books – good ones – but every now and then one comes along that is absolutely inspired. I found this book in, of all places, Walmart; I picked up a copy, and then another copy for a gift… well, I could have bought a dozen. It really is that good.
The book is titled, “Patches of Godlight,” and is “written” by Father Tim Kavanagh. I put the author’s name in quotes because the author is a character in the well loved “Mitford Series,” written by Jan Karon. All of the books in the series, and related to the series, are ones I would recommend, but this quotation book is something special.
Written in Father Kavanagh’s own hand, “Patches of Godlight,” is a collection of the character’s favorite quotations and thoughts. This book is a bit like finding a journal and being given permission to read it. The quotes are inspirational, gentle, and inspiring; they give insight into the character of the Episcopal priest and the story author Karon has crafted.
“Patches of Godlight,” is a book that will comfort you when you are saddened, boost you when you need some motivation, and always find the time to give you hope for the future.
