1 Day I Wrote Back

Throughout her life, Jane Herring struggled to hear what scripture had to say to her. The Bible seemed to be a book of shocking stories and condemning contradictions, sometimes a friend to the soul but often used as a weapon to wound.

It was only when Herring started speaking back to scripture – putting pen to paper to write poetry, lists, stories, and letters – that her relationship with the Bible began to unfold.

Filled with down-to-earth stories, this book offers insight and perspective on scripture passages. Herring invites readers to interact with the Bible through creative writing, encouraging them to question, explore their own lives, talk back, plead, praise, and ponder.
