Holy Land : Poems
$21.00“Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” -Exodus 3:5″The Holy Land is everywhere.” -Black Elk
The two epigraphs that preface Angela Alaimo O’Donnell’s Holy Land introduce the reader to the central theme that permeates her poems: that holy places deserve to be regarded with reverence and that all places are holy places. In her afterward, the poet traces these foundational concepts to her Catholic childhood wherein religious instruction consisted largely of memorizing the Baltimore Catechism. “One of questions the Catechism poses is ‘Where is God?’ The answer is ‘God is everywhere.’ We believed this to be true. God was in church, but God was also in our house (a crucifix in every room), in the backyard, in our Buick (rosary beads swinging from the rearview mirror), at our birthday parties in the basement, and in our own bodies. And though those places may not sound very holy, they were. Because God was there. Is there.”
In addition to affirming this foundational belief, these poems extend the terrain, moving beyond the geographical and the physical to the temporal, the carnal, the intellectual, and the spiritual realms. They assert that our days are blessed, our bodies are blessed, our minds and souls are all blessed and sacred ground. The poet explores a broad spectrum of physical locations, beginning with poems set in the Holy Land and moving on to places closer to home, ranging from the west of Ireland to rural Minnesota, from New York City to the Texas border. She also probes the temporal spaces we occupy, experiences of death and birth, love and loss, desire and desolation that mark our human passage.
The English word holy is related to the Germanic word heilig, a word that means blessed and also carries within it the idea of wholeness. Holy Land attempts to honor both the holiness and the wholeness of our world-from Gotham to Golgotha, the Bronx River to the Sea of Galilee-and to honor the holiness and wholeness of our blessed and broken humanity.

Language Of The Birds
$21.00According to legend, the language of the birds was a mystical language God used to talk with Adam and Eve when he walked with them in the garden of Eden. Amy Nemecek listens for this divine dialect as she communes with God on her walks along country roads and creek banks, through forests and hayfields. She observes the world around her with expectation, knowing that God still speaks to us as he is at work making all things new. If we have ears to hear, we can catch snippets of his grace in the watercolor silhouette of a bird, the thrum of a tractor engine, the tang of a grapefruit, the curvature of an ampersand. Amy doesn’t want to miss any of it, so she remains attentive to the smooth grit of beach sand, the tendrils of a nebula, and the steady gaze of a fossil. She delights in the details, and you will too.
In this collection of lyric and narrative poems, you are invited to walk with her as she reflects on larger themes of beauty, loss, motherhood, family, and vocation. She contemplates the sacredness of ordinary moments that we usually don’t recognize except in hindsight. Twining through every line is an aching hopefulness that ties together her love of words, her devotion to scripture, and her deep gratitude for each of life’s joys and griefs.

Madonna Complex
$14.00What does it mean to say yes?–to God, to the Spirit, to art, to love, to motherhood, to the dazzling & tangible world? Mary’s response to the angel, saying “Let it be to me as you have said,” is an essential moment in the life of a disciple, a woman, and an artist. In Madonna, Complex, Mary’s “yes” is a moment of opening, of allowing her very body to become a co-creator with God and a conduit for the coming of grace into the world. However, womanhood in all its fullness–sexuality, marriage, infertility, childbirth, nursing–inevitably complicates traditional Christian imagery of Mary. Madonna, Complex chronicles a feminine faith journey alongside saints like Joan of Arc and Saint Kateri, images of motherhood in visual art, through holy days of the Christian calendar–Ash Wednesday, Holy Saturday, All Saints Day–and sites of pilgrimage, cathedrals, wilderness, and other places holiness can be found. These poems explore the complexities of the messages we receive about what it means to say yes to God, or to something larger than ourselves that demands our attention and energy, whether it’s bearing a child or participating in a political protest.

Water At The Roots
$16.00In a society uprooted by war, industrialization, hate-filled ideology, and dehumanizing technology, a revolutionary farmer-poet reconnects his people to the land and one another.
Something of a British Wendell Berry, Philip Britts (1917-1949) was a soft-spoken West Country farmer, poet, activist, and mystic. Even as his country plunged headlong into a second world war, he sought a way of life where people could work together in harmony with nature and one another. He found an answer, though it would cost him his land and his life.
These were years of turbulence and disillusionment, in Europe and beyond. Why had progress brought with it so much suffering? Britts saw that in losing our connection to nature and the earth, we are losing our humanity – our connection to one another. He watched as his friends in the peace movement, socialist circles, and Christian churches joined the battle against Hitler, but he refused to resort to violence. Instead he threw himself into an attempt to live out the radical demands of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount on a personal and local level in community.Britts’s story is no romantic agrarian elegy, but a life lived in the thick of history. The international pacifist community he joined, the Bruderhof, was soon forced to flee Europe. Now the earth he tilled was no longer the moist soil of his homeland, but a harsh tropical climate of drought, locusts, and blight. A highly trained horticulturalist, he loved working the land and discovering new wonders of nature, “to see in growing corn the fingerprints of God.” And his expertise and research helped alleviate hunger in Paraguay and Brazil. But now the soil was also shoveled over babies’ graves, and soon Britts himself contracted a rare tropical disease that would take his life at the age of thirty-one, leaving behind a wife and three young children.
Philip Britts’s generation faced great dangers and upheavals, as does ours. His response – to root himself in God, to dedicate himself to a community, to restore the land he farmed, and to use his gift with words to turn people from their madness – speaks into our age just as forcefully. The life he chose, as well as his poetry, remain a prophetic challenge in a time still wracked by war, racism, nationalism, materialism, and ecological devastation. Britts’s insights into our relationship with the natural environment are particularly poignant now that we are even more aware of its fragility.

For Better Or For Verse
$13.26So tiny and helpless, so sweet and so mild,
so dependent and loving-this beautiful child.
A gem, a jewel, a precious pearl-
such a wonderful gift, this little girl.
I can reduce any man to a weeping pile,
but all it takes is that little smile,
and now I’m mush …-Tom Gusky
Tom Gusky does not believe in fifty dollar words or mysterious hidden messages in his poetry. Instead, he prefers to share a tender and sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrical view of life that reflects on the bonds of family love, the trials and joys of raising children, and the experiences that draw all of us closer to God.
Tom injects humor and emotion in poems for the masses that reflect on his observations about the pilot of his family’s ship as well as an angel in diapers, the face of God, the cycle of life, and the journey of a man as he ages. Throughout each verse, Tom offers gentle reminders about the important things in life: faith, family, and unconditional love.
For Better or for Verse shares a collection of thought-provoking poetry as one man looks back on all the joys and sorrows of a life well lived.

Poetry Devotion For Attitude Promotion
$29.98It’s been a long time coming for a dynamic book of poetry, such as this. The project contains beautiful, faith-filled, biblically-related poetry that will touch the hearts of people from all walks of life. The poetry is written and expounded upon to reveal the author’s beliefs and feelings; and when scripture is used, it reveals exactly what the bible is saying to people today on a myriad of different topics in our daily living. Your soul will be indeed lifted to a higher height, touched in such a gentle manner, taken to a deeper depth of knowledge, and moved beyond mountains while reading this devotional book of poetry and commentary. The author sets the tone of this book by being blatantly honest, but is fair, meek, and wise in his approach at explanations. He wants you to hear the “attitude,” mindset, pulse, or disposition of your conscience while reading, in hopes that you won’t want to put this work down on the coffee table until finished. The attitude principles or “truths” contained in the book are already provided in the Word of God, but are uniquely demonstrated through poetry arrangements in the context of having a great, Godly attitude through varying situations. Although a Christian poetry book, these concepts can be read and practiced by everyone from all communities, no matter what background all derive from or environment one may have been exposed to as a child, youth, teen or even an adult. This book is full of eye opening messages, but whatever is acquired from this work, it’s the writer’s heartfelt desire that you attain something uplifting about a positive “latitude of attitudes” to help in your daily journey. Hopefully, these poems will inspire you today to encourage yourself in the Lord, God!

Notes From The Tilt A Whirl
$18.99A visual, poetic exploration of the narrative nature of the world and the personality of the Poet behind it all. When Nate Wilson looks at the world around him, he asks “What is this place? Why is this place? Who approved it? Am I supposed to take it seriously?” What could such an outlandish, fantastical world say about its Creator? In these sparkling chapters, Wilson gives an aesthetic examination of the ways in which humanity has tried to make sense of this overwhelming carnival ride of a world. He takes a whimsical, thought-provoking look at everything from the “magic” of quantum physics, to nature’s absurdities, to the problem of evil, evolution and hell. These frequently humorous, and uniquely beautiful portraits express reality unknown to many Christians-the reality of God’s story unfolding around and among us. As the author says, “Welcome to His poem. His play. His novel. His comedy. Let the pages flick your thumbs.”

Mercies And Exhortations
$13.73Poetry expresses the deepest of emotions. It reveals the passionate core of what the writer is feeling and thus is able to carry the reader to feel those same emotions. With both the words spoken and the unspoken words, it allows the reader to transcend and unite in those emotions. Just like a song can touch your heart and cause you to connect with it in such a way to say, “Wow, that is what I am feeling”; poetry also touches our hearts in that same way. This collection of poems has been written over a period of many years. As a collection it expresses one major theme-that God is faithful, full of mercy and grace even when the obstacles of life may have created pain, sorrow, or doubt. It displays the frailties of a human spirit that can be overcome when united with an all-powerful God of Love. In this, the poetry becomes a song of praise to a faithful God who truly knows the best plan for your life and mine.

We Are The Branches
$21.23Through poems, prayers and promises, We Are The Branches takes you on a personal, twenty-four-year journey beginning in misunderstanding, doubt, resistance and unbelief. It leads you through the tough process of being humbled by life and loss, and then, to the surprising, healing and liberating experience of meeting Jesus. The impact of that encounter leads you along as an intimate relationship is formed between Jesus and the author, as her perspective of Him and everything else changes, and how this new way of seeing affects her marriage, family, past issues and even daily problem solving. You will be inspired as she shares the new meaning and purpose in her life while shifting from the world’s view to God’s way of seeing everything. You will get the feeling, at times, that you are witnessing intimate conversations between God and one of His children, as each poem is followed by God’s own words. This book is infused with challenges to any unbelieving reader to open their hearts and minds to the one thing they have been conditioned against, while it poignantly describes the very essence of what it is like to be truly free.

We hurt, laugh and cry, mess up but get back up again. In today’s “reality” we must be real. We are victorious ONLY as we press through.

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.

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.
