Sobre IBD

Intrigued by the piles of stones, rocks, and boulders that cover the landscape of the Holy Land, author Virginia Bates Kidd begins a deeper quest for a pattern within these emblems. As she journeys through the Scriptures, Kidd discovers how God transformed these simple facets of nature into timeless messages of love and grace, building onto a wide gamut of human emotions to reach the deepest recesses of our hearts. Kidd sprinkles pebbles of her own imagination onto familiar stories: the clink of stone upon stone resounds with startling life while Abraham builds his altar with 'Stones of Sorrow.' The stones beneath the feet of the adulterous woman roll with a life of their own as she walks away from the temple. The trajectory of 'The First Stone' is infused with the jealousy that drove Cain’s hand to murder. Pride and ambition pile up the bricks of the Tower of Babel, and 'Stones of Courage' shows the earth shaking under a giant’s armor-clad weight, while David prevails with large faith and small stones. Throughout her exploration, Kidd winds down each story with a heartfelt devotion. She hopes these biblical stories will stir your imagination and warm your heart. Says Kidd: 'Seek your own concordance and go to work. God’s Word is a precious jewel, and He wants to enrich your life with it.'

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
