Jesus: His Story in Stone is a reflection on still-existing stone objects that Jesus would have known, seen, or even touched. Each of the seventy short chapters is accompanied by a photograph taken on location in Israel. Arranged chronologically, the one-page meditations compose a portrait of Christ as seen through the significant stones in His life, from the cave where He was born to the rock of Calvary. While packed with historical and archaeological detail, the book’s main thrust is devotional, leading the reader both spiritually and physically closer to Jesus.

This is an experience that I had as a child. My family repeatedly recalled the event for me throughout my life to inspire me to be a better person. As I grew older, the experience molded my character. I repeated my experience to others letting them know how valuable they are and sharing they are Four Stones as well. The story makes people think about the different parts of a persons life and how important all the parts are to make up or bring together a whole person. Michelle Radvansky
