Customer Reviews

Even Among These Rocks by Steven Purcell

I was looking for books to enhance my Lenten journey this year and I was blessed beyond belief to have "stumbled" across this most beautiful book. It drew me into deep worship with the Lord and such a greater appreciation for the importance of this time of year when we remember Christ's journey to the Cross to pay the debt for the sins of the world. I am very grateful to have discovered this masterpiece and will share it with many.

A Word of Art

Even Among These Rocks is a work of art. It is gorgeous and profound. It's not a book that I wanted to quickly read. I've enjoyed it thoroughly, savoring a few small bites at a time.

Focusing on Who's important

I have enjoyed the depth with which Steven has written about his Lenten journey. I appreciate all the people of faith that he has drawn from. He is well read, and the book shows that he not only is, but has done his own searching and finding in his relationship with Christ. I am looking forward to following the book through Lent and expect it to draw me to Who is important, Jesus Christ.

A Visual Faith Journey

This beautifully crafted book, which deserves to be savored reverently, is much more than a perceptive Lenten journal. Purcell's hand lettered text and exquisite watercolors are complemented by sensitive selections from spiritual, literary, and artistic masters, all handsomely presented in full color and spacious layout. In the author's words, this is about "following Christ and--in that journey of faith--discovering the truth about ourselves and the largeness of God's love." It is a book to which the reader will want to return again and again in order to more deeply appreciate its treasures. Lenora Black, OSB
