Chemar, after reading your thread again the other night it got me thinking about how clever he was with his use of words and how reading them truly does conjure up visions in the imagination. Not all writers can do that. He's a true "wordsmith" I think. Of course, what I have read has not been from a personal religious perspective but am still able to understand what he's meaning.

I found this on his wiki page and it demonstates to me his skills as a writer because it all seems so familiar.

"The New House is almost a major character in my story.
I am the product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms,
upstair indoor silences, attics explored in solitude,
distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes,
and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.
—Surprised by Joy"

Another writer who could do that for me was Carlos Zafon in The Shadow of the Wind. I can still actually see the scenes he set with his words and almost feel sensations that I remember from reading that book.

Anyway, before I rush off for treatment, I just wanted to say what I was thinking. I don't do that much anymore. We should do book club. lol
