Bad Luck, Hot Rocks


Book Description

The story of the curse made famous by the hit show Dead to Me The Petrified Forest National Park in Northeast Arizona protects one of the largest deposits of petrified wood in the world. Despite stern warnings, visitors remove several tons of petrified wood from the park each year, often returning these rocks by mail (sometimes years later), accompanied by a "conscience letter." These letters often include stories of misfortune attributed directly to their theft: car troubles, cats with cancer, deaths of family members, etc. Some writers hope that by returning these stolen rocks, good fortune will return to their lives, while others simply apologize or ask forgiveness. "They are beautiful," reads one letter, "but I can't enjoy them. They weigh like a ton of bricks on my conscience. Sorry...." Bad Luck, Hot Rocksdocuments this ongoing phenomenon, combining a series of original photographs of these otherworldly "bad luck rocks" with facsimiles of intimate, oddly entertaining letters from the park's archives.

For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4). Water came from that rock for the thirsty crowd of Israelites.It may be that you're in a desert right now. The Rock is pouring out living words to satisfy your thirsty soul.That Eternal Rock gave those words to another Rock. A man previously known as Simon. Jesus changed his name to Peter, which means Rock. Nobody has walked closer to Jesus on this earth than Peter. In his later years (and close to his death) Peter wrote two letters full of encouragement for your soul. It's a message direct from God's heart for you.




Letters to the Rock

Leonie Phoenix is an avid believer that God can transform any situation to bring about good. She hopes that through sharing her experiences, she can help others find new meaning and purpose in their lives. She lives in the Caribbean with her husband and children. Fascinating and beautiful. I like the whole idea, and how it is expressed. It is excellent food for thought. Brenda Quin, co-author of That Still Small Voice. Thought-provoking The writer has understood that the suffering endured now will lead to eventual true joy if the individual uses it to empty him or herself of their worldly desires and replaces them with the in-dwelling Spirit of God, who refills us with the peace and love and mind of Christ. Peter Westin, co-author of That Still Small Voice. I enjoyed the poems very much. They conjured up many images and the message from the writing has helped me with my own personal inner struggles. I got a deep understanding of the writer. She realises God doesnt always answer her pleas and cries in the way she wants. But, no matter where this journey takes her, she will always win through. She has learnt to trust God. She praises Him and her heart is now on fire within Gods warmth. Colin Wilson, author of The Judith Code. Leonies writings are an expression of her very heart, body, soul and mind. Cathartic and healing, her pen creates a space for spirituality which takes her readers from the underworld to the divine.
