About the Author
Patti Rokus, the rock lady, can't stop picking up rocks on her hikes throughout the Pacific Northwest. Being outside used to be about the trees, sky and critters, but now it's all about rocks, because they tell stories, which can be seen in her internationally published books and viral videos. Children and adults all over the world are recreating her art with stones and pebbles of their own - deepening their connection to God and finding peace in our busy world.As a recovering corporate product manager with companies like Nike and Microsoft, Patti knows what it's like to feel too busy to prioritize what matters most. So, she left it all to release her inner artist and find ways to share her love for nature and the Creator. She's committed to helping us reconnect to our source and find greater contentment. Her speaking engagements and online presentations are filled with rock art demonstrations and stories of unexpected serendipity that has led to a very unexpected life. She is also a singer/songwriter, a Christian, and a teacher of self-discovery. Patti says whenever she finds a heart-shaped rock, she's sure it's a love note from God. But when all kinds of rock shapes became irresistible, she gathered a bucket full on a solo camping trip in Montana. Later, when she spilled them out and pushed them around, she discovered the entire nativity story told by those same rocks. Those pictures turned into national book deal--"A Savior is Born." A second book emerged of rocks telling the story of the last week of the mortal life of Jesus--"He is Risen." Both books and related viral videos can be found on her website, RocksTellStories.com and at bookstores everywhere. Each page is frame-able but also powerfully serve as teaching tools for learning the bible stories of Jesus, and the Good News. This coffee-table books has a gorgeous embossed cover of sparkling foil and spot gloss that virtually shouts, "Open and savor the Word of God in pictures as you've never seen it told before. These collector's books are the first in a series on the Life of Jesus.
