If there was one word to describe The Journal Keeper it would be rich Phyllis wit and insights into the very ordinariness of our lives leap off the page into the very centre of my heart From cover to cover it is a courageous journey borne of experience and a celebration of life

It s been a long time since I ve picked up a book and immediately fell in love This is THE book I ve been searching for for months now and didn t know it Only half way through I m purposely taking my time like savoring a delicious homecooked meal but already I count it as one of my ten most treasured alongside writings by CS Lewis Elizabeth Gilbert Henri Nouwen and others In a home shared with my husband of 30 years 3 teenage boys and mother age 75 who has just come to live with us I feel that Phyllis Theroux warmly invites me into her corner of life to share a cup of tea and precious words of wisdom each time I open the book She empathizes affirms rebukes and encourages me all in one fell swoop Who could ask for more I can t wait to get my hands on all her other writings
