In order to do this, she says we must do three things:
- deepen and sharpen our reading skills
- cultivate habits of speaking and listening that foster precision and clarity
- practice poesis - to be makers and doers of the word

This book is about language, which is not the same as reading a good story. So I'll have two books going at the same time for a while. It's not the first time.
what's the other book you're reading?
ReplyDeleteAll Things Wise and Wonderful by James Herriot. I love James Herriot.
ReplyDeleteI almost always have two books going at once--one fiction and one nonfiction. Right now I'm reading Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry and I just today finished Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle. Good books, both of them. :)
