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.
