Customer Reviews

What an amazing story!

I was so impressed by J.David Bamberger's compelling story! People like him--hard working, resourceful, personable, inspirational--are such a rarity these days. He has done some amazing environmental work, and has cared enough to share what he has learned with others. The strikingly beautiful illustrations in this book, done by his wife, Margaret, have a simple, timeless quality.

An inspiring story

I have heard him speak numerous times and come away each time inspired to take better care of our planet and influence others to do the same. Water From Stone made me more aware of all the work that Mr. Bamberger has done to make our environment safer and healthier for all of God's creatures.
