Thayne, Emma Lou Warner, The Place of Knowing
Anything written by beloved Utah author Emma Lou is a gift. We’ve been waiting for a long time for this one. Several years ago, I bought a copy on CD, read by the author herself, but until last month, it was not in print. Emma Lou tells us of a terrible accident in which she basically had a near-death experience. In the process, she leads us through many observations about life and learning. She tells us, “To make an event a reality, I have to write it down.” With her gorgeous poetic prose, Emma Lou shares with the reader many personal stories of her own and interactions with some of her myriad number of friends. Above all, we come away with a sense of the reality of how our lives affect who we are, a deep sense of peace, and an abiding faith in a loving God. Although you might want to get this from the library, I suspect that you’ll want your own copy to underline and cherish. You’ll probably want several to give as gifts
