I discovered Grace's books and podcast a little over a year ago, and I've been so blessed by her warm presence, spiritual and literary insights, and delightful guests. Listening to this podcast has led me down a personal path of reading and discovery, and I am truly grateful and always look forward to the feeling of spiritual community and kindredship I experience as I listen. God bless you Grace, and thank you for sharing your heart and mind on this podcast and in your writing and scholarship.
Even as an untrained hobby medievalist, I understand and am challenged by the topics and observations on this podcast. I keep meeting new people from history that are worth knowing today! Also, it takes a well-cultivated mind to form the questions that Dr Hamman asks. I highly recommend her podcast!
