Tumbling Grounds
$16.86Tumbling Grounds touches deeply on the joy and grief inherent in the drama of human existence. It is a collection that will make your mind soar and your heart sing, and subsequently bring tears of joy to your eyes. This is poetry at its best: a rich literary diet for the soul, the spirit, and the body. Take a bite-it will be worth it. “I have been both fortunate and privileged to have edited this work. Dr. Aku’s imagery is extraordinary, and his subject matter ranges from a simple leaf, floating downward towards the ground, to the maelstrom of emotional conflict. “It has been most gratifying. I wish to thank Dr. Aku for the opportunity to have gotten a glimpse into his vision of the world, of life, of love, and of morality. His expressions have, at different times, left me breathless, smiling, or laughing out loud. This truly is an outstanding collection of poetry.” -Mario Lew

If I Could
$18.73If 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
$40.00William 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
$18.95Out 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.

Understanding God : Poems And Songs
$27.48Veronica Grant-Miranda has been compiling her writings in her continuing journey of understanding God. Her first writing was in 1974 after a traumatic divorce when she cried out: “God, why me? You know I love and serve You!” God quickly replied, “Why not you?” Veronica realized that she was not exempt from pain and tragedy. In her trauma she cried and cried and cried. In her futility she clearly heard Jesus calling her name: “Veronica.” Upon hearing His voice her tears suddenly stopped. She also began to understand that this God whom she loved since the age of seven cannot be fully understood by human beings such as she, but can be completely trusted. He ever abides.
