I like some of what Edwene Gaines writes about although I do not agree with all her views on spirituality. But I have learned enough from her writings that I decided not to be bothered in areas where I disagree. I find her life story and spiritual journey though to be compelling.

But too much work ... without rest ... is not a good thing.
We should build into our lives ... a rhythm of working ... and resting.
When God created the world, ... He wasn't giving us a law
