Even Among These Rocks -OS
Purcell, conference director for the International Federation of Evangelical Students, has created a fascinating and consistently thoughtful meditation on Lent that also promises to be a beautiful volume, as it is hand-lettered by Purcell himself. Part anthology, part personal journey, it draws upon the art of Caravaggio and Roualt, the poetry of Denise Levertov and T. S. Eliot, and the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, to name only a few. Purcell adds his own reflections on these works and on the meaning of the events commemorated by Lent. Purcell's selections are fit and striking, and his own writing is graceful, profound, and not unworthy of its exalted company. Highly recommended.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
