Something Grand and Sacred
This book begins as a haunting portrayal of desperation, but then moves---a surprising lift---into something grand and sacred and, by the end of the book, fully whole. Wright's book is a shining path through daily life---its intricacies, its secret dreams, and its momentous recoveries. BRAVO.

InterVarsity Press, 2005

A Very Useful Book
Creativity and spirituality are often seen as unrelated. Vinita Hampton Wright makes the case for their intimate connectedness in "The Soul Tells a Story." As she states, "The creative process is a spiritual one, and when we receive it as such, it deepens our gifts and edifies us in general." Wright had two purposes in writing "The Soul Tells a Story." The first was to help readers with their ...

Brilliant in Understanding and Scope
Vinita Hampton Wright's book packs a great wallop. I chose this book because it is set in my home state of Iowa. It was only after I was well into the book that I realized that although the town of Beulah is fictional, she did base it on Mahaska County. My dad graduated from Eddyville High; my aunt lived in Fremont; and my grandparents moved south to Monroe County in Albia. I have spent a ...

Great for talks and articles
Vinta Hampton's treasury of quotes is like reading the journals of incredible men and women, like Eric Liddell, Hudson Taylor, Isobel Kuhn and others, who have labored in the mission fields before us. I have used these quotes over and over again in talks and mission conferences as well as project notebooks for those going to serve in short-term missions. The quotes seem to fit well with the ...

4 1/2 Stars...Comfort and Hope
As Christmas neared, I decided it was time for a holiday novella. Grisham's "Skipping Christmas" was a humorous escape last year, but this book looked a bit more serious. "The Winter Seeking" is a concise and wonderfully rendered tale of a woman dealing with many of the emotions we confront during the Christmas season. She struggles with her parents' divorce and her mother's illness. She also ...

Is Vinita still cooking?
Velma Still Cooks in Leeway was a very satisfying read for me, a former Writing/Lit major and a small-town pastor. The story itself was worth telling and thinking about (a preoccupied pastor, prejudices, date-rape, escalating spouse-abuse, grieving, a genuine but stereotype-busting Christian, unfounded fears, founded fears, faithfulness, and God-at-work-in-it-all). But even more impressive than ...
