I was very blessed by the centrality of the simple Gospel in Earthman’s poetry. Every poem lands at Christ the creator, the incarnate, the lamb, the redeemer. And that is where I need to be.

I loved this short collection. The movement between lament, praise, and glory was wonderful, and I loved the exploration of the human condition on this earth.

I definitely recommend this collection to anyone who loves Jesus and loves poetry.

Some standout poems are:
The Lamb for Sinners Slain
In Seeing a Bird
Until the Dawning Light

Beautifully written, biblically strong, theologically rich, and openly vulnerable. Amazing poetry book by my friend Alison Earthman. 10 out of 10 recommend.
