Download or read book Jesus in the Power of Poetry written by Diarmuid O'Murchu and published by Crossroad Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing prose as a limited way to convey the dream and spirit of the Gospels, this text instead relies upon the power of poetry to provide immediate access to a fresh, radical interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. The original work here separates itself from similar anthologies by showing an ability to rethink everyday faith through empowerment and liberation. O'Murchu uses language in its most direct form to accept the challenge of these prophetic teachings in the modern world.

Download or read book Divine Inspiration written by Robert Atwan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Book Award Finalist But God speaks through wombs, birthing prophetic utterances. . . . Enough of this unbelieving religion that masquerades as faith. Divine favor is placed on what we have disgraced. In God Speaks Through Wombs, Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a new poetic register. These are declarative poems, faithfully proclaiming the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible." From the Magnificat ("That girl can sing! . . . She has a voice / That can shatter shackles") to the baptism of Christ ("I stepped in / Committing insurrection"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance—against all hope—that's been in the gospel all along.
Download or read book More of the Same written by Stewart French and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of Stewart's poetry, a worthy successor to "From Heaven and Back Again". The poems are again a flavourful mix of the deep, of the spiritual, of the funny and downright amusing and the ones that cry out with anger, pain or frustration. What gives them life is that they mean something profound to all of us, read them and you will feel a resonance and a connection. Modern living can be tough, we can lose our sense of time and perspective; or else we can forget that our God is so big, so high and so mighty. These poems are easy to read, on occasion they show Stewart's emotions laid bare but, my, what love for his fellow man is revealed and what joy in knowing Jesus as real in his and his family's life. The poem "Living in the fast lane" is a picture of the times and pace we seem to live in yet we are bidden to remember that indeed Jesus is Lord. This is good stuff and reveals the man and his family, his life and his daily walk with God - not through rose tinted spectacles but with honesty that we can truly identify with. Just dip in and enjoy, read about and experience a normal life living with God - like you and me? Nicholas Beach April 2011

Download or read book Gospel Midrashim written by Ken Bazyn and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steeped in the great tradition of Christian poetry, Bazyn offers a series of startling and highly personal interactions with the Four Gospels to break open Jesus' teachings and symbolic acts for our everyday lives. His vivid, allusive poems with references to literature, theology, spirituality, liturgy, ethics, history, saints' lives, and legend are loosely arranged around episodes in Christ's exceptional life as the Nativity, the coming of the Magi, the parables, the raising of Lazarus, the transfiguration, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the ascension. Some pieces are meant to be serious and reflective, others light and satirical; some are modern and concrete, others abstract and universal; some are hortatory, others didactic; a few confessional, a few incandescent celebrations. Like David's Psalter, they represent the kaleidoscope of moods symptomatic of our humanity. Via fetching images, Bazyn seeks to entangle you in the reality which is Christ, that true artesian well for our confused and wandering souls. Drawing on the best of Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant thought, this is a genuine gift to the global church. Wide-ranging in its uses, it sits at the boundary of literature and spirituality. Furthermore, it includes footnotes to scriptures (and a Scripture index) to enhance your meditation
Download or read book A Collection of Short Gospel Poems written by Elder Wilkins and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2002 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of short gospel poems composed to bring healing and deliverance to the masses. The collection offers hope to those that are hopeless and help to those who need it. The tone of the collection is one of faith in knowing that God is and will do just wnat he says He will do. All who read the collection will find something of value in it for themselves or someone else they know. While reading the collection, one is transported to the realms of The Spirit where one can exist where all power belongs to God, the Ruler Supreme and no one has to cry or die. For example, the poem titled The Lord Jesus Is My Man clearly depicts ever lasting life via the written words, "I shall die and know Him still when He carries me away from here". Equally as evident in the realm of love, the poem titled, How My King Appeared to Me shows a love for Jesus The Christ that is unmatched in brilliance and un-paralleled in purity. The reader knows and understands the meaning of the expression "I would go to different places through-out the city and you would show up! I'd be walking and you'd appear beside me. In front of me. I was afraid at first because you appeared so suddenly, but you caused me to know that it was you and I would fear no more. I Am In Love With The Lord Jesus Christ demonstrates the un-dying love for Jesus The Christ King that leaves the reader knowing that there is more to come and more to what they have been thinking and feeling in terms of what "true" love is and how it goes. The reader learns the differences between love and lust as the imperfections of "falsehoods and indiscretions on love and how it goes" are revealed and displayed "up-close" for all to see. In reading the collection, one is able to enjoy God in His totality, hear about Him and His goodness and ten experience firsthand the power of God in the highest as they allow Him to come into their lives and empower them to "be saved". The Prayer of Salvation is steadfast in the realm of the parent and the child finding, loving, caring for each others' thoughts, views, wishes, and feelings. Lastly, the reader is made starkly aware of the power of God as He dis-allows the successes of the enemies of The United States of America and supports the United States of America and the entire world as they respond to search out and destroy terrorism and its' support world-wide. These truths are evident in the poem You Are The Best Lord Jesus where the United States of America requests and receives God's help in its global war on terrorism.
