About Treasured
God is a collector, too, whose treasures are tucked securely into the pages of his book: a golden bell here, an olive leaf there, a scarlet thread, a blood-stained cloth, a few grains of barley. Each of these saved artifacts reveals a facet of his heart and tells the story of a Father whose most precious possession is…us.
In Treasured, Leigh McLeroy considers tangible reminders of God’s active presence and guides us in discovering evidence in our own lives of his attentive love.

Treasured
“In Treasured, LeighMcLeroy invites the reader to join her quest to know God’s heart for His child. Well written, winsome, and fearlessly honest, this is a reassuring read for the soul who hungers for
God’s love.”
—CAROLYN CUSTIS JAMES, author of The Gospel of Ruth:
Loving God Enough to Break the Rules
“What a refreshing and surprising book! Until I read Treasured, I never considered how a few easily overlooked things in Scripture could have such power to help us know God more truly and intimately.
With delightful prose and biblically shaped wisdom, Leigh McLeroy leads us into a deeper encounter with our living, loving God.”
—DR.MARK D. ROBERTS, senior director
and scholar-in-residence for Laity Lodge
“I enjoyed watching [Leigh McLeroy] deftly polish the treasures God might keep in His memory box. She helped me notice God’s engagement with us. If God feels distant to you, Treasured will imaginatively and biblically illustrate His tenderness.”
—JONALYN GRACE FINCHER, national speaker with
Soulation (www.soulation.org) and author of Ruby
Slippers: How the Soul of a Woman Brings Her Home

insights, and exquisite words into a delicious narrative.”
