by Mark David Shaffer

Holy Roller is a poetry collection at play with the Bible, rabbinic lore, early Christian tradition. Leveraging the power of language and mythical landscapes, Mark shows readers how to understand their faith as part of human internal evolution and intellectual history, while holding tightly to the mystic responsibility that the stories of faith traditions teach when interpreted towards love of neighbor. If you have ever had big questions about how to keep your faith in a modern, evolving world... you will love this collection. May it come in the side door with new ideas, hope, and blessing!
