The Just, Quiet Wind
What has faith to do with esthetics? What role has poetry in devotion and worship? These poems, or devotional responses to the Scriptures (lectionary passages) that inspired them, represent one preacher's oblation, an artless offering of adoration, confession, wonderment, and praise. Neither esthetic creation nor ecclesial proclamation, at times homely, at others sublime, these poems sojourn in hope toward "a better country, that is, a heavenly one."

I am not normally a big reader of poetry, though I'm working on starting to read it.
This collection of the poetry of a preacher is hit or miss for me; some of the poems seemed to me to miss the mark, while others were excellent. Due to the nature of poetry, your mileage may vary as to which poems are right at the heart of a particular passage that inspired the poem. The ones that do, however, are definitely more than worth the price of admission (money and time).
