Book: Seven Days on the Roads of France "This is ... Lossky's record of his attempts to enlist in the French army during the German advance of 1940. That is precious enough in itself, but so much more is included -- a preface by his son, the Orthodox priest Nicholas Lossky, as well as essays by Lossky's other son (a UN interpreter) and his two daughters (one a professor, the other an Orthodox author). Each essay is well-written and places Lossky's life and work within an extraordinarily rich context."

Book: Short Trip to the Edge: A Pilgrimage to Prayer Most intriguing in Short Trip is its apprehension of beauty in terms that are both spiritual and physical. Cairns engages all of the senses in his pursuit of a life made prayer. The deep stillness that he gains from worship is “sweet” and “delicious” (161). Indeed, the poet is able to understand the psalmist’s command to “taste and see that the Lord is good” in what for him is an entirely new way.
