I really enjoy the Harry Potter Sacred Text podcast. I even bought tickets to see Vanessa do a live show in Tacoma. So I was excited to read this and it did not disappoint.

This was not what I expected. I expected a fluff book that I could quickly read through and pass on. What I got was something very deep and spiritual. This tells how to take any book and read it as a sacred text. As I read the chapters sentences spoke to me.

I started to think of others who would be interested in this book and reading sacredly. I started thinking of what books I would want to do this with. I started thinking how I could do this. I am captured by this book. I want to find the essay of Carthusian monk, Giugo II and read it so I know what he said about reading possibly leading to prayer.

I loved this blend of memoir and how the author utilized reading Jane Eyre as a way to bring the sacred into her life. I’ve listened to her podcasts but not every one, so I enjoyed hearing more about her life and how having all four of her grandparents as Holocaust survivors affected how she relates to the world. I haven’t read Jane Eyre in years, and this makes me want to do a reread as well as figure out what may be sacred texts of my own.
