I finished Terryl Givens "Crucible of Doubt." The main impact of the book was to arouse an interest in Julian of Norwich and Edward Beecher. There's not a lot of time right now to pursue either one in depth, but I ran onto a collection of 30 short passages from Julian's work.
"This is the reason why those who deliberately occupy themselves with earthly business, seeking worldly well-being, have no God's rest in their hearts; for they love and seek their rest in this thing which is so little and in which there is no rest, and do not know God who is almighty, all wise and all good. God wishes to be known, and it pleases him that we should rest in him; for all things which are beneath him are not sufficient for us."
