"Cathy Messecar finds temples
wherever she goes: in a chapel on a university campus, at her
children's bedsides, in a church full of rustling Bible pages... or
on a bale of hay, in the cab of an eighteen-wheeler, in the aisle of
a grocery store. Like a long-ago Teacher walking the dusty
roads of Galilee, she can spot the outlines of the sublime
camouflaged by the ordinary. Her images will touch your
imagination; her words will touch your heart; her visions of
eternity will touch your soul."
-Thom Lemmons, author of
Sunday Clothes and Jabez: A Novel and co-author of King's Ransom,
winner of 2005 Christy Award
“She got me with the title.
Cathy Messecar takes everyday events, like driving a daughter to
school in a pickup, and strips away the ordinariness to reveal
encounters with God. As you read Stained Glass Pickup, you’ll
discover how to bring God into your life in a much more consistent
manner. A winning style and inspiring thoughts.”
- Tim Riter is an
award-winning author, and his most recent books are Not a Safe
God with Broadman and Holman, and Strong Enough to be a Man
with Beacon Hill Press.
I am thrilled to recommend this inspiring collection of
meditations, short stories and devotional nuggets. Readers are
sure to find The Stained Glass Pickup an anointed
addition to their daily Bible reading.
- Janice Thompson, author of I Must Decrease
