Making Our Home with God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781641734561)

Making Our Home With God is a collection of travel meditations that pair New Testament readings with glimpses of the New Jerusalem in such diverse places as Iona, Chartres, Samburu, and Antarctica, as well as in one's own home. Marks invites the reader on a pilgrimage that entails taking nothing-no extra coat, shoes, or bag, only an open heart and mind-on a journey home to life in Christ, where our hearts welcome others who hunger and thirst for what we may take for granted. Those new companions, who are Christ in His many faces and forms, change our lives forever.

Patricia Marks, now retired from Valdosta State University as Regents Professor of English, was ordained a deacon at Christ Episcopal Church in 2003. She and her husband, an astrophysicist, live in Valdosta, Georgia, where they continue to research, write, and publish.
