"Merrill has followed her heart-song, and we are the beneficiaries of her inner work."--Spirituality & Health, July 19, 2002 "This small, nicely designed book consists of meditations on a variety of spiritual topics. The layout is very clean and crisp with a lot of white space; visually, the book exudes tranquility. The short meditations are very thought-provoking and extremely poetic. Overall, this is worth reading and a good addition to the library's prayer collection."--Catholic Library World, December 2002
