To Buy a Field-unearthing spiritual treasure is a collection of twelve essays that takes a sharp look at ordinary experience through the lens of a Christian spirituality. Chapters on the church, worship, and the Bible are joined by art, family, and the "world" as the author in journal entries, personal reflection, and insights from literary sources describes spiritual treasure found in every particular of life. She believes Jesus' parable in Matthew's Gospel that this "kingdom of heaven" is worth selling everything to find. Ending with suffering, aging, and dying, the book gives readers a lively mix of the serious and silly, ecstatic and grievous, human and divine-all gifts of life and grace to the humans God so joyfully created.
