Where The Heart Is
$33.49Add to cart“Things get spilled, the “TO DO” list is endless, and grows sprouts like neglected old potatoes.” So writes Charles William Golding in one his poems about living in February. To read his poetry is to enter his life, meet his family and friends, wander through his wife’s personally sculptured wild English country garden, visit with him in his early life in his native Virginia, and share the wonders of life in the Pacific Northwest. In all his poems he also sprinkles them with a subtle sense of humor, and quite frequently a different perspective of views enhanced by living abroad for long periods of time in London and Spain.

Truth Seeker
$15.49Add to cartCut off from our connection with the divine, humankind is afflicted by a metaphysical anxiety, which is now a global condition. The Truth Seeker is one woman’s journey to try and combat this malaise. Through poetry and prose, Lucy White questions her beliefs and tries to make sense of the secular and the sacred in her search for a connection with that essence of divine love we call God. Meditating on her personal journey led the author to the awareness that we live in a world of polarities between which we ricochet unknowingly. At present the secular outweighs the sacred and the male force outweighs the female force. Balancing these forces could bring peace and harmony to the world. The author espouses a new philosophy, that of Spiritual Feminism, a philosophy that acknowledges and elevates women as wise nurturers connected to the divine, a philosophy that balances the female force equally with the male force. During the writing of the book, Lucy White began to experience a benign energy force that seemed to be tracking her progress. Was God keeping an eye on her work?

If I Could
$14.99Add to cartIf I Could… is a compilation of biblical scripture taken from the King James Version of God’s Word and poetry by Paul McCutcheon. Even if you don’t agree with the interpretation of God’s Word, the poetry is very inspiring. Through the power of technology, Paul’s poems have helped show others they are not alone in their grief. Paul uniquely combines the Word of God with his poetry, taking a person through the steps leading to salvation and the gift of comfort that God offers to all who grieve the loss of a loved one. Paul continues his journey through grief from the death of his three sons with a deep desire to help others learn how to cope with their grief. He knows that a person in grief from the loss of a child cannot “just get on with their life,” yet he does know they can learn to cope with their grief. Paul’s book also offers a list of organizations dedicated to helping those who face a life of pain brought on by the death of a loved one.

Seeing The Psalms
$40.00Add to cartWilliam Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance. Brown’s pioneering work explores the hermeneutical promises and challenges of interpreting the book of Psalms through the lens of metaphor. While form-critical analysis has been the staple of psalms research for over a century, scholars have by and large overlooked the Psalter’s use of imagery at great theological cost. More than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter embodies “incarnational language,” discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. The psalmist’s use of imager, Brown argues, has the power to captivate the imagination, edify the mind, and cultivate moral discernment and theological reflection.

Show Yourself To My Soul
$18.95Add to cartOut of Bengal and the Hindu spiritual tradition comes a Nobel prize-winning mystical poet whose time for broad, popular acceptance has come. William Butler Yeats fell in love with these poems almost a 100 years ago, the Nobel Committee honored them with their literature prize in 1913 and just recently The Utne Reader cited Tagore as one of today’s most overlooked spiritual writers. This new edition is important because its lyrical translation has been made from Tagore’s original Bengali and because it makes the entire collection of 157 Gitanjali, or “song offerings” available to a wider audience for the first time. Rabindranath Tagore wrote with the insight and emotion that so characterizes Kahlil Gibran, with the mystical passion that has made Jalaluddin Rumi so popular and with a simplicity and depth that remains fresh and attractive to today’s seekers.

Issues Of Life In Poetic Verse
$27.99Add to cartIn this unique work I have covered a variety of topics that have become vital though controversial in daily life. I have approached the subjects with an infusion of poetic verse dealing with the issues encountered in life that have been, and are, issues of personal conflict. There is no attempt to be scientific nor to disprove evolution, although many readers will require scientific answers for which there are none, because both Evolutionists and Creationists utilize faith for the proof they employ in their philosophies of life for the past, present, and future. The issues of faith are the real and only answers to many issues. The treatment of them is the result of a deep, personal religious faith that reveals to us a nation’s loss of morality in all segments of society from the point of view of a Christian. Christian Faith and Patriotism are two issues widely covered because morality is deeply involved in each of them. The last half of the book deals with an apologetic of creation because it is obvious to all Christian readers that there is a subtle attack against the promotion of their faith in America as a very real issue. Suffocation of Christianity from many quarters is an open fact of life. Many of the topics treated are not generally in the public’s daily reading matter and it should encourage Christians to continue to maintain a faith strong enough to withstand the attacks to destroy the Christian faith in America that have just begun in earnest.
