Amazing

by Simon Ponsonby

A beautiful, inspiring gift about the amazing person and nature of Jesus After 30 years of being a disciple, Simon Ponsonby began to reflect on whether he was amazed by Jesus, or whether he had lost his first love, having a relationship with Jesus that was predictable and dutiful. Did Jesus still amaze him or just employ him? As he reflected on this question, Jesus drew near to him, and Simon began to write a poem about Jesus, marveling again at who he was and what he had done. Amazing is a touching and inspiring poem about just how amazing Jesus is--the perfect devotional for mediating and reflecting on Jesus, to help meet with him right where you are. Illustrated with the author's photographs, which position amazing truths in a stark and contemporary setting, and drive their message home all the more, this simple, honest and moving poem is a wonderful gift to help others to encounter the amazing person of Jesus too.

I have never been a big fan of poetry. I studied it a long time ago at school but was never very inspired by it. It has always seemed a bit cryptic, hard work and something I keep telling myself I will eventually get to and fully appreciate when I retire!

But I picked up a copy Amazing, by Simon Ponsonby, partly as I know Simon’s writing and preaching, but also it is such a beautifully produced little book, which really drew me to it (the picture does not do it justice … imagine hardback covers, square shaped, subtle titling, gold embossing front and back, 3 colour printing inside on a heavy parchment type paper stock, with artistic use of fonts and moody images to accompany the words – in itself a work of art).

The poem, a poetic love-letter to us detailing the “amazingness” of Jesus, is accessible and profoundly meaningful. Simon’s words are beautifully chosen...
