Madeleine L'Engle 1918-2007

I found out today a tremendous influence on me passed away last week. Madeleine L'Engle, known predominantly for her writing of fantasy novels such as "Swiftly Tilting Planet" and "A Wrinkle in Time", was a voice of faith and persuasion to many an artist looking for the heart of God in the arts. Her book "Walking on Water" proved to be a major reason why I leaped in the film and creative arts world. She as well as several others (Flannery O'Connor, Anne LaMott, CS Lewis, and Bob Briner to name a few) helped me intellectually pursue what I believe God created me for. She will be dearly missed.
