Religious Poetry

A mysterious phone call compels Luke Millward to look for his estranged father in post-Katrina New Orleans. This riveting story of hope and healing, of finding love and, above all, faith is for every family who's had its share of tough times; for anyone who regrets things never said; for everyone who needs to know that life has a second verse.

Foy is a minister who can no longer make sense of the religious world into which he was born. A strange bus journey to the heart of New Orleans marks his exit from a familiar life and a rebirth into a new reality. But the secular world is a strange and lonely place for Foy. His identity as a clergyman is more deeply embedded in his soul than he thought. Foy is determined to chart his own course rather than allowing others to define who he is.

Ephesians 6 tells us that we are fighting against spiritual forces in heavenly realms. It also says to put on the whole armor of God in order to defeat these forces. Most Christians don’t like to talk about demons and unclean spirits, let alone admit they may actually have a few inside of them. The problem is that if we don’t face this truth, we will never walk in the freedom Christ died to give us. Isn’t that just sad?

Raised as a Catholic in rural Vermont, I was infused with an awareness of sin and penitence, but also absolution and forgiveness. My late teenage encounter with Dostoevsky’s Legend of the Grand Inquisitor shattered my youthful allegiance to Catholic dogma, but it’s one thing to walk away from Catholic doctrine and quite another to lose the weight of its beauty, fear, and guilt.

Zeina Hashem Beck writes at the intersection of the divine and the profane, where she crafts elegant, candid poems that simultaneously exude a boundless curiosity and a deep knowingness.

What was happening to our country? There were a lot of people just like me. We were faces in our windows, looking out, wondering what in the world was going on. We have some evil giants trying to stomp us down, and they are trying to turn our country into something we cannot accept. These giants were systematically forcing terrible things on the population to be accepted as normal and good. God is love but He is not just soft mushy quiet love. God has a temper, and He has displayed it in His word. The scolding poems (the face in the window poems) came to me in basically a complete form.

God is speaking to us all! Are we listening? He chooses to speak to us in various forms. In this book it is in poetic form. His message is in the poems… Poetry is the heart singing, it comes from deep within. When you hear these words of love, they really come from Him.

Each one of these poems is infused with positive energy and given marching orders to reach those who need it most.

Many never find it, but I promise it's there, waiting to be discovered, and maybe one of these poems helps you do just that.
