New Edition of Walking on Water Available October 11, 2016!
A new edition of Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art is available for pre-order now (shipping October 11). With an introduction by Sara Zarr.
“The joyful acceptance that readers create my books along with me and share their creation in their letters, helps me to grow, to be more daring than I would be able to otherwise. In trying to share what I believe, I am helped to discover what I do, in fact, believe, which is often more than I realize. I am given hope that I will remember how to walk across the water.”
