Return Return & 12

by David Bowden

Return God's forgotten love story, told in four parts. This constantly moving and evolving book of poetry paints a beautiful, haunting, and challenging picture of God's relentless love and Man's unstoppable apostasy. David Bowden explores the many faces of the church as a harlot bride, a lost traveler, a disembodied entity, and a inevitably victorious body. The poems cover joy, victory, remorse, lament, and hope. David's letter to the church at large is convicting, yet inspiring. As hard as it may be to hear, let's hope we all listen. 12: A collection of twelve poems based on twelve spiritual disciplines. David attempts to unhinge discipline from its traditional garb and weighty precepts, and bring it into a relationship of freeing love and deep intimacy. Spanning topics from fasting to celebration to simplicity, Bowden compels readers to dine, dance, and wait with God.
