Podcast Description
Hello and welcome to the Pages of GodLight Podcast. I’m your host, Christine Whitaker from Whitaker House Publishers.
Have you ever seen how sunlight breaks through a patch of trees and creates a circle of brightness that seems almost otherworldly? Like a sacred space, so illuminated the world seems to glow? C.S. Lewis described these as patches of GodLight.
I have been a book lover ever since I learned to read, and when I pick up a book, over and over, I see glimmers of meaning within the pages that stop me in my tracks and make me pause and take in what I’ve come upon, just like those spots of brilliant light.
In this podcast, Pages of GodLight, my hope is in these conversations, as we meet authors and creators and talk through the pages of books, you too will stumble upon bright spots of words and carefully delivered messages that open you up to experiencing the light that is all around us and waiting to be found.
Please come join us!

While others often respond to the cares and concerns of our day through anger, And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World attempts to offer a response steeped in the heartbeat of Love.
This book is an invitation to encounter the lived experience and philosophical musings of another as a human, not as a project or agenda to conquer. Without apology, it embraces humanity and all the emotions, back stories, and history that come along with who we are and who Love is inviting us to be. This book is for those who want to think more deeply, those who are asking questions of how, what, and perhaps even why, and those who want to engage in deep listening and empathy
And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World is an invitation to move beyond binaries, beyond hierarchy and comparison to embrace the concept of “AND,” with inclusion and generality that allow for more than one perspective and/or way of being.
Touching on issues of race, body, motherhood, church, and wonder, these writings are from the stirrings of the authors own soul, extending an invitation to sit with Spirit in the process of mindful meditation, to humbly sit with compassion and curiosity in ways that evoke honesty and healing so that one might move beyond either/or and discover how the restorative power and uniting thread of Love might be stitching each of us to the world and to each other.
