Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is my favorite nonfiction book. Praying your time away is refreshing.

May your writing break be fruitful! I’ll miss having new posts to read. But as a writer, I understand the value of breaks and gladly will give up a summer of reading new posts in exchange for years of enjoying the gift of writing God has given you and the numerous other gifts evident in your writing.
