Episode 61: A Journey of Sea and Stone with Tracy Balzer

<p class="p1">Happy St. Columba's Day! On this episode of the Library Laura Podcast, our guest is Tracy Balzer, an author of four books who I know personally from her work as the Director of Christian Formation at John Brown University. She is also a calligrapher, a grandma, and a traveller who loves leading pilgrimages to a remote and beautiful island called Iona, off the coast of Scotland. We’re here to talk about her book, <em><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/2982/9781506464596">A Journey of Sea and Stone: How Holy Places Guide and Renew Us</a>,</em> which released June 8th! But we also talk about writing, traveling, God’s calling, the pandemic, puffins, and lots of good books. I can’t wait to share this conversation with you.</p> <p class="p1">Connect with Tracy on her <a href= "https://tracybalzer.com/">website</a>, via email (tbalzer at jbu.edu) or on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/seaandstonejourneys/">@seaandstonejourneys</a> or <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/carry_some_quiet_around/">@carry_some_quiet_around</a> and be sure to pick up a copy of her book! </p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://bookshop.org/lists/a-journey-of-sea-and-stone-with-tracy-balzer-episode-61"> All the books from today's episode (bookshop.org storefront) </a></p> <p class="p1">Follow The Library Laura Podcast on <a href= "http://www.facebook.com/librarylaurapodcast">Facebook</a>, <a href="http:/www.twitter.com/librarylaurapod">Twitter</a>, <a href= "http://www.instagram.com/librarylaurapodcast">Instagram</a>, and the <a href= "https://librarylaurapodcast.blogspot.com/2021/06/episode-61-journey-of-sea-and-stone.html"> Podcast Blog</a></p>
