The journey homewards. Coming home. That’s what it’s all about. The journey to the coming of the Kingdom.
That’s probably the chief difference between the Christian and the secular artist–the purpose of the work, be it story or music or painting, is to further the coming of the kingdom, to make us aware of our status as children of God, and to turn our feet toward home.
― Madeleine L’Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
Her nonfiction is just so good and more orthodox than a lot of her fiction. Love her writing anywhere, though.
