Many writing instructors teach writing through autobiography. By
considering the lives of others and then contemplating their own
lives, aspiring writers discover a wellspring of material that can
be used in their prose. While not explicitly for courses, this book
follows a similar pedagogical line, focusing specifically on the
philosophical and spiritual questions that every person faces in
the course of meeting life's challenges. How the Light Gets In
encourages readers to contemplate their lives through spiritual
observation and exploratory writing. It guides readers through the
process in 17 concise thematic chapters that include meditations on
fear, freedom, silence, secrets, joy, prayer, tradition,
forgiveness, service, social justice, aging, and death. Short poems
by Schneider begin each chapter. Schneider's book is distinct from
the many other books in the popular spirituality and creative
writing genre by virtue of its approach, using one's lived
experience, including the experience of writing, as a springboard
for writing about beliefs and faith. As her many followers would
attest, Schneider writes with particular clarity and immediacy
about the writing process. Her belief that writing about one's life
leads to greater consciousness, satisfaction, and wisdom energizes
the book and carries the reader gracefully difficult topics.
