In readable and non-scholarly fashion, Niehaus, who is both a theologian and poet, provides a theological and literary analysis of the epic poems of Dante (Divine Comedy), Milton (Paradise Lost), Cowper (The Task), and Wordsworth. Niehaus also of presents the theological roots of great poetry and how it illumines our understanding of important topics such as creation, sin, hell, devil, beauty, truth, redemption, and God supremely manifested in Christ. “I hope and believe,” writes the author, “that my observations (and the observations of others whom I endorse) on the work of poetic imagination as part of the imago Dei equally well to any sort of poetry (and for that matter any art).” -
Wild Things : Poems Of Grief And Love Loss And Gratitude
$13.99Add to cartHow does a person tolerate the intolerable, bear the unbearable? For Roberta Bondi, a more specific question arose. “How will I continue my life when my mother is not in it?” As Bondi put pen to paper, she gave voice to her grief – and created a resource for others who grieve. She articulates her pain so others can know that they are not crazy in their emotions, that they can live beyond the grief and pain and find a measure of comfort. Bondi loses a physical presence but comes to find her mother’s presence in new ways in her life. Just as the “light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it” (John 1:5), Bondi shines a light on the dark face of grief, reminding us of God’s enduring love.

Love Nature Faith And Cowboys
$15.49Add to cartLove. Nature. Faith. Cowboys. Subjects of inspiration and wonder. Much could be said on any one of them: how they make us feel, how they change our perceptions of our world and of ourselves, how they fill us with hopes and dreams, and how our world is better for us having experienced them.

Nichols shares four themes which, though disparate, lend themselves to his unique brand of poetry. Together, they share some common elements of interest and involvement to which most readers can relate.

Glimpse Into My Life Through Prose And Poetry
$14.49Add to cartDuring my first years of school, I caught pure hell. I was bullied each and every day. Kids would attack me with “O dumb fly”; I would be standing, talking to some one and another person would pretend to smell me, then say ” he’s ate some shit because he stinks”! Then they would all run away from me. Just try to feel what I felt as a kid. Besides that, my cloths were tattered, faded and dyed. Same colored shirts and pants, but mine came from “GoodWill” and was either patched, sewed or faded. Coats had holes. Mama could only buy one pair of shoes for me/ no two, because I did have a dressed pair to wear to church, but my every day shoes were brogans. Brogans were black boots that had big steel taps on the front and the back of the soles. One could literally hear me coming from a block away.
I had a fight of some sort almost every day. Incidentally, my Mama enrolled me into Catholic School. (Light blue shirts dark blue pants and ties.). Had I been going to school in this day and time, I would have been a fashion statement. -
