商品簡介
This book of poems comes from an honest attempt to put the spiritual highs and lows of one person into verse but it also tries to find clues to living the life of Faith by following our great heroes. The poems also tackle some of the crises we have faced recently as well as the pain we all encounter through life. Wild Beasts and Angels is a strange title, so I should explain. In the Gospel according to St Mark, the temptation of Jesus is described as an experience linking earth and heaven, "he was with the wild beasts, and the angels waited on him" (Mark 1:13). Perhaps St Mark is trying to say that our Lord Jesus holds within himself both the things of this world and the things of heaven. The Christian seasons of Lent and Easter teach us about how to deal with the things of "the world" as well as how to embrace, with joy, the glimpses of heaven. Many of the poems are rooted in these seasons. This process has been joyful and has drawn me forward and upward every step of the way. I hope that you will also find some food for your soul.
