-Macrina Wiederkehr, author of Gold in Your Memories
 
"Like a river that whispers, beckons, conjures, and then swallows, The Arms of God seduces us into a spiraling dry ocean of sorrow, reverence, bittersweet remembrance, and unconditional love and shows us the many faces and languages of grace. Lynne Hinton picks up every nuance, color, taste, whisper, and sigh of ache and redemption and serves us a feast of holiness."
-Jaki Shelton Green, author of Singing a Tree into Dance
