10 Old Stone Church • love

I believed I was worthy of abandonment, based on my past and my present, yet I remained beloved. I began to feel like Sixo in the novel Beloved who said this of his Thirty Mile Woman: "She is a friend of mine. She gather me....The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order."

Stone Crossings walks the reader through the foggy landscapes of life, arriving at subtle moments of true grace. Barkat's courageous, unblinking honesty is a gift, a gift offered in gentle, delicate, literary prose. (Don Everts, author of Jesus with Dirty Feet and God in the Flesh)

Here is a book full of the wisdom which can only come when real life meets God's grace through God's Word. It is a book meant to be read slowly.

The only writer I know quite like Barkat is Eugene Peterson. That probably tells you all you need to know.

The Jesus Creed

With a storyteller's charm and a Bible teacher's grit, L. L. Barkat weaves memoir, humor and spiritual insight together into a satisfying read. She challenges us to open our eyes anew to the amazing graces God lavishes upon us every day, in ordinary and surprising ways.
