“We made our home on the wind, between sand and stars.”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“Can one be lost, when no destination awaits? When no home longs for one’s return?”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“The story…travels wheresoever the truth shepherds it. It possesses no rudder that I might lay my hand upon, to guide it wherever I choose. I am at its mercy”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“At last, everything comes to its own end…All things must die. The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll, and time itself will be closed like a tomb.”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“To produce a masterpiece requires grand ideas, unswerving commitment to the dream, years of sweat and pain…Such beauty does not come cheaply.”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“Some might be swayed by clever answers, but true accomplishments will always outweigh cunning.”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“For any story to be worth the telling—or the hearing—it must spring from the truth. If not, it is nothing more than the final flow of the Yorden, as its fresh waters are swallowed up in the undrinkable tears of the Salt Sea.”
Brock Meier, The Stone Cutter: A novel of Petra In Ancient Arabia

“The story…travels wheresoever the truth shepherds it. It possesses no rudder that I might lay my hand upon, to guide it wherever I choose. I am at its mercy”
