Amazon Reviewer: "This book deserves every last five-star review it has on here. This has got to be one of the sweetest books about the Savior I have ever read, for children or adults—sure to touch the heart of anyone fortunate enough to read it. The emotion conveyed on each page through the simple arrangement of rocks is astounding. And if the pictures and accompanying messages and scripture are not enough to bring you to tears, the note from the author at the end of the book certainly will. Heartfelt, simple, and poignant. A homerun!"

"I find it hard to believe that something so primitive can bring one to tears. I am mesmerized. I cannot wait to share these moments, reading, rock combing & creating, with my grandchildren, nieces, and nephews and look forward to an art that will be carried forward throughout our many generations!" - Jessica Edouard, Artist
"How this artist finds everyday rocks that literally convey emotions and portray scriptures, is beyond me. This is a cross-generational book that grandparents can read to their grands, parents to their kids and yet is beautiful enough to be a coffee table showpiece. When my grands read it, they were captivated by the astounding concept that rocks, indeed, tell stories. And the message of Jesus' life came through loud and clear. Minutes after they were done with the book, they excitedly ran outside to collect their OWN rocks to tell their OWN stories of God's love. ---Ronna Snyder, Author, Mother & Harley Rider
Publishers Weekly Review
Following A Savior Is Born: Rocks Tell the Story of Christmas, Rokus offers a visual narrative of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection through artful arrangements of stones, with scripture verses appearing throughout. The figure of Jesus is crafted with a round, stone head, and shapely rocks form his sweeping robe: “Jesus came to earth to bring healing and joy to all who follow Him, and to lead us home to God.” Rokus represents “people who wanted to kill Him” as sinister stone faces with angry, slanted eyebrows and open mouths. Other scenes depict Jesus riding a stone donkey, washing the disciples’ feet, on the cross, and his resurrection: “After three days, Jesus came back to life! We will all live again because He conquered death.” An inventive and moving telling of the Easter story. (February 5, 2019)
