Nimble Spirit: The Literary Spirituality Review

In this space we intend to recognize works that might otherwise fall through the old belles lettres cracks and get lost on bookstore shelves. We intend to review new books that strike us as literary spirituality and bring renewed attention to classics and old favorites. We hope to bring authors to this site, in interviews and conversations. We hope that publishers will come to see Nimble Spirit as an avenue for reaching readers who seek both spiritual and literary value in the books they read."
