Sarah,
Your book “At the Still Point” came to my attention twice in the past week–in the Bas Bleu catalog but it did not arrive in time for me to have the book to read as we drove our daughter cross country for her freshman year at Wheaton College, where I found your book in the bookstore (and bought it!). It is a delight to read your anthology of wonderful literature excerpts along with scripture and I know I’ll be returning to your book many times in my devotional life. Any book with riches from God’s Word, as well as from Austen, Berry, Chesterton, Dickinson, Dostoevsky, Grahame, Hopkins, Keillor, Norris, Shaw, Teresa of Avila, and Tolstoy is my kind of favorite read!
While at Wheaton, I had to visit the Wade Center and immerse myself in the wonders of a place with so much history on its shelves (not to mention the Lewis wardrobe). I’m sure you spent some time there yourself during your years at Wheaton.
Thank you for the work you put into compiling this book. It is special indeed.

I have been reading The One Year Daily Grind now for about three months. I originally purchased the devotional to do along with my best friend, while we both au paired in Spain. And I cannot begin to explain just how much God has used this book to help me grow in Him. So, thank you for letting Him guide you in your writings! I look forward to reading more of your work.
Blessings,
Kara
Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for “Coffee with God”; my day is always uplifted and I feel closer to God when I read it. Your writing is so refreshing and God inspired, I’ve recommended this book to many friends. Can’t wait to read more titles.
Love in Christ,
Cameron
Dear Mrs. Arthur,
My family and I are reading JRR. Tolkien’s The Hobbit in anticipation for the up coming Movie, Part 1 of Peter Jackson’s installment. I have also been going through your devotional Walking with Bilbo and enjoying it immensely. Thank you for this work. The Lord Bless! In Christ, Miriam King
Sarah,
I just finished reading your article in Immerse; There and Back Again, Why Hobbits Still Matter for the Hunger Games Generation. Thank you for such an awesome discussion on myth. We are creatures whose very history is rooted in story. Your insight was excellent. I really appreciated the comparison and connections between Tolkien’s and Collin’s worlds. Thank you for sharing your passion.
A gracious new fan,
Adam
Loved the book “Mommy Time”! You are very talented and thoughtful. It even made me ponder and think about my experiences. I had postpartum depression and have felt guilty about it. Glad that we have Jesus to leave the guilt behind.
