Sparrow

Fiction

“Pastor Judah Greeves admits to his wife, ‘The whole of creation’s a bad sign, Esther.’ In Gary Porter’s Sparrow, Judah and Esther suffer a crisis of faith, a deteriorating marriage, and financial woes. Together, though, they embark on a quest to find and save their daughter. Porter’s exceptional storytelling is buttressed by insightful imagery that portrays lives on the brink but ones worth living when driven by purpose, honesty, forgiveness, and love.”
