When I made that list this morning of books that had an impact, I forgot to include Anne Ortlund's 1977 book Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman. I always wanted to be organized and have a notebook and keep priorities straight like Anne. Well, I do at least have a notebook.
And then when I went to look her up online (thinking to add a P.S. to my earlier post), I found out that Anne passed away in November. I'm not on the right lists, I don't read the right websites; I tend to miss these things.
Or is it just that our modern saints seem to pass away so quietly these days that nobody notices?

this was one of the earliest 'most personally impacting' books that i ever read as a very young lady. i read this and several books by elisabeth elliot within the same short time, i can't remember now which was first...
