About this title

Synopsis

In this rich melange of art, literature, music, and personal reflection, Steven Purcell reveals his own intimate journey through Lent--a path that travels deep within the soul and illuminates the staggering depths of God's love. Weaving spiritual insights with artistic expression--the paintings of Rembrandt and Caravaggio . . . the writings of St. Francis and George MacDonald . . . the music of Vaughan Williams . . . the poetry of T.S. Eliot, Denise Levertov, and John Donne--Even Among These Rocks is a stirring celebration of creativity infused by the Holy Spirit throughout the ages.

In lucid prose and with bold sincerity, Purcell charts the geography of the human spirit and invites us to journey with him in the footsteps of Christ--the journey of poverty and redemption that ultimately leads us home.

Featuring full-color illustrations on every page and rendered in hand-written calligraphy by the author, Even Among These Rocks is a stunning gift book for anyone traveling the path of Christian spirituality.
