In this episode 268, we visit with Janet Sarjeant, author of “Deep Calls Unto Deep,” which draws its title from Psalm 42:7: “Deep calls unto deep at the thunder of thy cataracts.”
The book explores how three men, Louis Patrick, the minister, Tony Abbott, the poet and teacher, and Fred Buechner, the writer and theologian, shared a commonality of thought and purpose in their lives and in their writings, and how they became friends along the way.
Rev. Dr. Baron Mullis, Senior Pastor of The First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA, and author of “Like An Overflowing Stream” had this to say about the book: “It is a warm and familial tribute to three towering figures in their respective fields who, in life’s wonderful providence, found one another.”

About the Author:
Janet Sarjeant studied English literature as a province of her life for almost 50 years, and taught writing and literature at Central Piedmont Community College for 25.
Janet has published essays and poetry, and recently won first place in the Literary Competition of the Arts Council of York County, SC, for her fiction piece about life in a small Virginia town that will appear in the Cotton Alley Writers’ Review.
She began writing in earnest after retiring from teaching. She says: “At my desk in the sunroom of my home, I write; I write using that combination of remembering and imagining that all writers must use as they put words to paper. I write because I cannot help but write.”
Her first book is “Deep Calls Unto Deep.”
Praise for the book:
“It is a scholarship of the head and the heart. Only Janet Sarjeant could have written this book. She draws lovingly from her long, close friendships with Fred Buechner, Tony Abbott, and her beloved pastor of many years, Louis Patrick. I highly recommend this book to those who love all things Buechner.”
— Rev. Gary Hudson of Charlotte, NC.
