Traces of Treasure: Quests for God in the Commonplace (1994)
Joanne Lehman’s themes are contemporary, wide-ranging, and personal. She lives the questions Christians face in today’s fast-paced society. From the traces of treasure in her journal, Lehman shares an authentic and elemental spirituality pervading daily life. With these windows into the thoughts and feelings of one disciple, Lehman stimulates readers to meditate on similar memories and discern their value. Great to use as a devotional guide. -
Morning Song (2005)
“Under and out from under the shadow of death Joanne
Lehman writes ‘in the emptiness between one breath and the next.’ Her rural
Ohio land-scape is animated with rough and mild weather, red wing blackbirds,
hayfields, woodlands, and the sweet and sometimes too-tight lips and rhythms
of sectarian life. These poems speak simply, and their mourning, memory, and
healing are a balm for times when a little bit of quiet would do us all a
world of good. This is a fine first book—as meditative, wise, and joyful as it
is bound to local life on our turning earth.” -- Julia Kasdorf
