Miracle on 10th Street

And Other Christmas Writings (Austin Family Chronicles)

By: Madeleine L'Engle, Diana Butler Bass - foreword

Narrated by: Pamela Almand

The bestselling author of A Wrinkle in Time reflects on themes such as advent, epiphany, faith, and wonder in this Christmas holiday classic.

For more than fifty years, Madeleine L'Engle has delighted and inspired readers/listeners with her warm, eloquent prose and inspirational poetry. She continues this tradition with Miracle on 10th Street, a collection of poignant writings and reflections that give listeners a glimpse of how the wonder of Christmas resonates in her personal life, which deeply involves her family and faith: "I think back to that Christmas when my husband and I did not know whether our little girl would live to grow up," she writes. "Between that Christmas and this, there have been many times when I have been in the fiery furnace, but I am beginning to understand who is in there with me and that when I need it, I am given courage I never knew I had."

For anyone yearning for the childlike wonder of the Christmas season to arise in them once more, Miracle on 10th Street is a rich and delightful listen.

Warm and soft beautiful words and voice

I listened to this mostly with my eyes closed and joy in my heart. Madeleine L'Engel write so beautifully! And the smooth and cozy voice just wraps me up in a blanket by the fire. She finds joy in the smallest little things and makes you feel that. The birth poem is so spot on and other writings are making you think and understand the real incarnation of Jesus and his purpose not just at Christmas. Stop and enjoy it and let the simple warmth surround you all year!
