Biblical images of stone In this collection of short biblical meditations, the author uses the image of stone as a symbol for basic truths in our faith lives. Beginning with Ezekiel's heart of stone, she mines both the Old and New Testaments for such references and ends with 1 Peter's letter about living stones. The passages include the familiar - like Jacob's stone pillow, the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, the stone before Jesus' tomb - as well as the unfamiliar, such as the "infected stones" of a leprous house, the stones from the Jordan's riverbed, and many more. This approach brings a fresh perspective that will engage both new and longtime readers of scripture. Stepping Stones -includes in each of 40 short chapters the full biblical verse, a reflection that interprets the passage for today's believer, provocative questions, and intimate conversational prayer -is written in clear, easy-to-understand language for the widest possible audience -is appropriate for both Lenten and year-round reading
