144 Jesus Poems None Of Which Will Save Your Life (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These poems explore David's relationship to Jesus through a variety of angles. They touch on the central matters of Christianity from suffering and forgiveness to lighter and even whimsical considerations: Would Jesus enjoy a cigarette, for example? Or play football? The full array of poems weaves the God-Man into the idiosyncratic bounds of a single human heart. Most of the poems are short, no more than two or three stanzas, that throw a spotlight from a singular direction to then move on to another vantage point just as unique, or peculiar, as the case

may be. Contemporary political matters are broached somewhat as well, reflective of Jesus' critical outsider status in his own day. The poems are grouped into 12 batches of 12, all sealed by a common theme, Innocence say, or Wholeness. Each reader will not agree with all the sentiments expressed, nor likely disagree with all of them either.

Autorenporträt

Having grown up in Maryland, David has taught school; labored in masonry, especially given to rock and stone; worked in a brick-and-mortar bookstore; built a house; written a book or two; and grown vegetables. Although he has attained several college degrees, he still finds that just about everyone he meets knows more than he does and so genuinely tries to learn from them, regarding spiritual matters particularly. He has attended church, but is partial to the Quaker Meeting. Retied now in northern California fire country, he reads and writes some, and works to keep the wild from encroaching too closely. He much enjoys Nature as long as it does not threaten death, although that too is surely negotiable.
