14 Forest Star • humility

I'm one of a crowd of eighteen siblings, most of whom were picked up by my father's marriages. These siblings occupy his memories and energies. They occupy his time and resources. Some of them reside in his heart. Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that I have strange dreams of being honored with a stone star monument.

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.
