Barbara Brown Taylor writes of Earthly Good: "There is no other voice in the world like Martha Sterne's. In her wise, funny, and utterly candid hands, nothing remains trivial. A cigarette ash is all she needs to proclaim death and resurrection. A can of Coke becomes a sacrament of communion. Call it the spirituality of incarnation."

Earthly Good is a small classic to be read and reread and shared with friends and given to seekers. Earthly Good is also a gentle companion when you are alone in the dark of the night.
