See the movie first, with Sidney Poitier. See it several times, over the course of decades. Then read Barrett's book, a slim and quiet volume that builds a chapel in the desert with faith and simple miracles.
My signed first edition will outlast me ... can't take it with me on a shelf of my coffin organizer, so I'll give it to my daughter, who isn't much of a reader. But I have an unreasonable faith that this book will amaze her, as it has her father since he saw the movie and read the book. It's a miracle, all by itself. Barrett also wrote The Left Hand of God.
