Publisher's Synopsis
In PATTERNS IN THE SAND, Lucas Kitchen uses wit, humor, brutal honesty, and good old fashion storytelling to invite you along for his life-long quest for answers. Confusion about the Christian faith plaguing every leg of the journey. Clarity was always beyond arm's reach. The search seemed hopeless. He was about to give up when everything changed. This self-deprecating tale will resonate with anyone who has wrestled with unanswered questions and is dying to know the truth. "We laid on a blanket in the tall dancing grass, watching the sky's parade of white and blue. The clouds were an apt metaphor for everything I had experienced. I'd come to think the truths of God were like the clouds, subjective and nebulous, their form being open to any interpretation one desires to give. What had only been enigmatic shapes against the deep indigo expanse had materialized into substance and meaning. They spoke a story as old as the mountains and more ancient still. It was the woman lying by my side who helped me see the fluffy shapes for what they are. We were suspended in a perfect moment, as sweet as the intermittent sunshine that warmed our skin."-Lucas Kitchen
