L.L. Barkat
L.L. Barkat is the author of Stone Crossings: Finding Grace in Hard and Hidden Places, a spiritual memoir/Christian living book (InterVarsity Press), and InsideOut, a book of poetry (International Arts Movement). Says author Don Everts, “[Her] courageous, unblinking honesty is a gift...” And theologian Scot McKnight has said, “The only writer I know quite like Barkat is Eugene Peterson.” Barkat has an M.A. in English and American Literature from New York University, is Managing Editor and culture columnist for a blog network sponsored by The Foundations for Laity Renewal, and is currently engaged in an art pilgrimage of sorts. She blogs at Seedlings in Stone (so named thanks to an essay she read long ago, by Makoto Fujimura).
