masterpiece, Under the Fig Tree. This book takes us on a spiritual
journey with Jesus as we celebrate the true meaning of Easter with
greater understanding and awareness of its monumental importance in
our everyday lives.”

Love Foundation
“Roger prays prayers with words and paint that linger in the
reader’s soul so much so that we are called back, drawn back,
invited back again to pause, to participate, and to pray. This
invitation is our constant companion in our journey through
Lent.”
—Ginny Wilder, Trinity Church, Wilmington, Delaware
“Under the Fig Tree is a chorus of words, pictures, poems, images,
hymns, dreams, lullabies, and waking kisses that will become a
beloved book for the Lenten journey.”
–– C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop of Texas, author of Unabashedly
Episcopalian and A Generous Community.
“Lately, I have been drawn to experiences in addition to words,
which have been my spiritual milieu for decades. Now Roger
Hutchison’s beautiful book has crossed my path: words and images to
nourish the spirit. Just what I needed, right now.”
— Barbara Cawthorn Crafton, author of The Courage to Grow Old
“If God’s voice is heard in music, then God’s face is seen in the
visual arts. Roger’s vivid imagery opens our imaginations to a new
way of walking through darkness and into wondrous light. Finally,
here is a Lenten devotional that speaks to the artist inside each
of us.”
— Chris Yaw, founder of ChurchNext
