Produktbeschreibung

God is at work among us. The "e;kingdom of God"e;-that dynamic, active power that breaks in to the hardest of hearts and places-is on the move. And how may we have eyes to see and ears to hear all that is truly taking place in, with and under the reality of our daily lives?Here the gift of poetry may come to our aid. In poems that range from loose informality to tight structure, and from the humorous to the sombre, Richard Briggs seeks to let poetry open our eyes and ears to the strange and elusive work of God among us. He seeks out a voice that will let us celebrate the everyday, rejoice in the remarkable, and at the same time will enable us to weep with those who weep. He writes with gentle humour of his own path from zeal towards wisdom, and encourages us to follow.Life is a gift, andNot of This Worldviewoffers a response to accompany us wherever we are in the ups and downs of that life-from the mountain top to the pit, as the Psalmists once said, and at all locations in between.
