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.

There is an intentional order to the following chapters, but I do not mean to imply by this order that the journey of Lent-or the journey of faith-is a linear ascent toward a static goal. Nor do I wish to convey the idea that the journey described is a map for others to follow. What is important is how the content and structure of the book suggests a movement forward, but forward in such a way that the traveller is consistently led back to his or her beginning. The Lenten pilgrimage is not about developing greater spiritual competence, nor achieving mystical enlightenment. Rather, it is an exercise in following. Specifically, it means following Christ and-in that journey of faith-discovering the truth about ourselves and the largeness of God's love."
