Produktbeschreibung

To Be Held by the Light reclaims the individual's role in biblical exegesis by incorporating poeticism into a traditionally intellectual space to explore the intimate relationship between God and self. This collection simultaneously showcases a pastoral desire to stir up affections of the reader towards God and reflect a genuine desire to share beautifully what Den Bleyker has found to be beautiful in Scripture. These devotional poems linger, amplify, and expound fresh paraphrase and arresting comparisons, and its resonating words reframe even the most ordinary truths and underscore the most astounding, giving expression to our own spiritual experiences and feelings. It will take you to corners of the spiritual life that might otherwise remain unvisited. It is poetry speaking to us at multiple levels, activating us to interpret images and figures of speech to awaken our emotions while adding a layer of verbal beauty that often makes it unforgettable. To Be Held by the Light invites us to establish a relationship of the self with the self and extends an invitation to speaking to and about God. In it you will awaken your affections, cast fresh eyes upon Scripture and the world, and find new avenues into the beauty of the word of God.
