Climbing Higher : A Life In Poetry
$16.49Add to cartReal life poetry goes beyond niceties. The spoken word is “supposed” to take on defining times. The poetry landscape gives meaning where meaning has been lost, emotion to callousness, encouragement to discouragement, life to death and – even, at times, death to what is only an illusion of life. We hurt, laugh and cry, mess up but get back up again. In today’s “reality” we must be real. We are victorious ONLY as we press through.

My Walk With Jesus
$16.49Add to cartThis book documents my walk of faith, which began after giving my life to Jesus. In September 2001, I was led to record the poetic words I was given. This book incorporates three years of writing. It reveals a very intimate view of my personal relationship with the living God in journal form. I believe that it is my responsibility to share this poetry. My prayer is that this book glorifies the Lord. My hope is that it will strengthen the believer and encourage the non-believer to ask some soul-searching questions.

Ordering Of Love
$21.00Add to cart“In a brilliant marriage of myth and manner, histories sacred and profane, prayers of petition and of praise, these poems both articulate and illumine the trouble in the gap in which we live-the gap between human affections and Divine Love. L’Engle is unfailing in her willingness to see through-not around-human suffering, and in so doing announces no final severing of spirit and flesh but an enduring vision of resurrection in that crux, in the cross, in the One in Whom all things meet, continuing.”
-Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim and Philokalia: New and Selected Poems“I love L’Engle’s poetry for the way it incarnates not only the great Truths of the faith, but all the little truths of our ordinary existence-our working and playing and loving and fighting and dreaming and idling and all the rest of it-and for the way it shows us that those big and little truths should not, cannot, be separated.”
-Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author“Why is L’Engle one of the defining poets of our time? Because when life hurts, she does not shrink from the wounds. She clarifies the murk with hope as we feel the lift of grace.”
-Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School
Birmingham, Alabama“We are, all of us, the richer for this carefully crafted and prayerfully rendered collection.”
-Phyllis Tickle, Author, The Divine Hours“Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to be shared.”
-Madeleine L’EngleMadeleine L’Engle’s writing has always translated the invisible and intricate qualities of love into the patterns and rhythms of visible life. Now, with compelling language and open-hearted vulnerability, The Ordering of Love brings together the exhaustive collection of L’Engle’s poetry for the first time.
This volume collects nearly 200 of L’Engle’s original poems, including eighteen that have never before been published. Reflecting on themes of love, loss, faith, and beauty, The Ordering of Love gives vivid and compelling insight into the language of the heart.

Road Of Life
$21.95Add to cartIn his thirteen years as Vicar, popular author David Adam welcomed over 1 million pilgrims to the Holy Island of Lindesfarne in Northumberland. Each pilgrim had a story to tell and each came for a different reason. Some radiated a sense of God’s presence, and others were simply too hurried to do anything but look around quickly and move on to the next site.
Using the stories of pilgrims Adam encountered on Holy Island, he explores how we can approach our own lives as pilgrimage, without ever leaving the comfort of our homes. How can we move beyond what is safe in our world and encounter the Mystery? How can we learn to disconnect from all the technology that keeps us multi-tasking all day and all night? How can we rediscover awe in the world around us?
In the wonderful prose and poetry for which he is so well-loved, David Adam helps us get on the road of life, even when we don’t have time to travel to distant lands.

Tumbling Grounds
$21.99Add to cartTumbling Grounds touches deeply on the joy and grief inherent in the drama of human existence. It is a collection that will make your mind soar and your heart sing, and subsequently bring tears of joy to your eyes. This is poetry at its best: a rich literary diet for the soul, the spirit, and the body. Take a bite-it will be worth it. “I have been both fortunate and privileged to have edited this work.

God Of Dirt
$11.95Add to cartWinner of the Pulitzer Prize for American Primitive, Mary Oliver has published numerous books of poetry and essays. Her poems are quoted in everything from Web sites to hymn books. Earthlight, a “Magazine of Spiritual Ecology,” has declared her an “earth saint.”
In this engaging study, Thomas W. Mann shows Oliver to have keen eyes and ears for reading the book of nature. Readers will discover that the correspondence between Oliver’s poetry and traditional religious language provides a fresh perspective from which to enjoy her work. At the same time, Oliver’s reading from the Other Book of God invites us into nature’s “temple” where we may come into the presence of the holy and from which we may leave rejuvenated and blessed. God of Dirt is an important study of a contemporary poet whose work is as likely to be read by a preacher in a pulpit as by an activist at an environmental rally, and will help us experience a new vision of the beauty of our world. -
Poems Of An Anointed Breakthrough
$14.99Add to cart“When I was age fourteen, God began imparting in me poems that were dealing with the hurt, pain, love, and even disappointments that were taking place in the lives of people. At the age of thirty-two, I was incarcerated. That’s when the gift that God had imparted in me began to supernaturally manifest itself in my spirit. I was given a prophetic word from a man of God saying that I would write like Paul. Within those three years of my incarceration, I not only experienced the life of Paul, but I also experienced the mighty works that Jesus did, as I made Him my personal Savior and the Head of my life. It was then that I was led into my prophetic calling as an anointed vessel of God.” -EVANGELIST YOLANDA COTTON These anointed poems will open your eyes, heart, and mind into receiving God’s Word in such an understanding way that it will heal, deliver, save, and even inspire you. It will change your heart into believing that God is loving, forgiving, caring, and merciful. And He’s also a chastising and correcting God.

Blue Collection
$15.49Add to cartLongfellow Press
The Blue Collection is a compilation of moods and emotions written in words that best describe who I am as a person as well as my past and previous experiences. The poems included in this book range from people, places, and things to beliefs, observations, hopes, and dreams in which my whole life is based. This book does not have one main subject or theme; it is an accumulation of random thoughts and ideas that everyone in some aspect can relate to. These works are a hybrid of classical and contemporary styles that in my opinion are the missing links in the poetry of today. My main goal is self-expression in the form of poetry in which children of the youngest age to men and women of any culture can grasp the concept of my works. -

Great I Am
$13.49Add to cartThe Great I Am is the first work in a series of books of poetry from an unknown yet gifted poet. But it is much more than just a book of poetry. Rather, it is a book of exaltations that will make your heart sing for God, your mind take hold of the things of Christ, and your spirit rise up with boldness. It is a book of timeless truths expounding on God’s grace, mercy, deliverance, and greatness, and our need to have faith in a faithful and almighty God. And if the poetry were not enough, the author begins this book with a personal essay, which serves to do more than introduce herself to the Christian literary community. It is an essay of personal triumph in Christ that tells of her humble beginnings as a child with a knack for writing, a love for literature, and suffering that caused her to question the significance of her existence. This young woman’s tribulations and tragedies were the foundation for her spiritual deliverance that marked the pathway to her God-given destiny. The Great I Am will leave readers with a sense of “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” and will make for a memorable first book in what is sure to become a cherished series.

Becoming One
$15.49Add to cartCan we ignore the commands and prayers of Jesus Christ and expect to get by with it? “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee … that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” (John 17:21). Becoming One is a peacemaker that will bind the body of Christ in love. Can an arm say, “I have no need of the foot”?

Becoming One has thirty-two dynamic poems and sixteen short stories. It also contains sixty-one reasons directed at opening fellowship and communication in the body of Christ!

Listen With Your Heart
$16.49Add to cartThis is not simply another book of poems. To tell the truth, the author never really liked poetry much. The poems are divided into groups such as grace, faith, and praise, enabling them to be used as devotionals. Through the words of the Psalms and the language of the Scriptures, certain truths are revealed in the words of the poems. They are truths that all readers can know if they are open to the message that lies within. Through praise and honor to God, the words reveal their meaning through simple phrases. The writings will help you understand that during your happiest or saddest moments, and everything in between, keep your eyes focused on the Lord. Though the answer may not be clear, the destination is still the same. These words were revealed to an ordinary person who opened her heart to what God had to say. Nothing is “different” or “special” about her; she just learned to listen.

Truth Seeker
$15.49Add to cartCut off from our connection with the divine, humankind is afflicted by a metaphysical anxiety, which is now a global condition. The Truth Seeker is one woman’s journey to try and combat this malaise. Through poetry and prose, Lucy White questions her beliefs and tries to make sense of the secular and the sacred in her search for a connection with that essence of divine love we call God. Meditating on her personal journey led the author to the awareness that we live in a world of polarities between which we ricochet unknowingly. At present the secular outweighs the sacred and the male force outweighs the female force. Balancing these forces could bring peace and harmony to the world. The author espouses a new philosophy, that of Spiritual Feminism, a philosophy that acknowledges and elevates women as wise nurturers connected to the divine, a philosophy that balances the female force equally with the male force. During the writing of the book, Lucy White began to experience a benign energy force that seemed to be tracking her progress. Was God keeping an eye on her work?

If I Could
$14.99Add to cartIf I Could… is a compilation of biblical scripture taken from the King James Version of God’s Word and poetry by Paul McCutcheon. Even if you don’t agree with the interpretation of God’s Word, the poetry is very inspiring. Through the power of technology, Paul’s poems have helped show others they are not alone in their grief. Paul uniquely combines the Word of God with his poetry, taking a person through the steps leading to salvation and the gift of comfort that God offers to all who grieve the loss of a loved one. Paul continues his journey through grief from the death of his three sons with a deep desire to help others learn how to cope with their grief. He knows that a person in grief from the loss of a child cannot “just get on with their life,” yet he does know they can learn to cope with their grief. Paul’s book also offers a list of organizations dedicated to helping those who face a life of pain brought on by the death of a loved one.

Seeing The Psalms
$40.00Add to cartWilliam Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance. Brown’s pioneering work explores the hermeneutical promises and challenges of interpreting the book of Psalms through the lens of metaphor. While form-critical analysis has been the staple of psalms research for over a century, scholars have by and large overlooked the Psalter’s use of imagery at great theological cost. More than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter embodies “incarnational language,” discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. The psalmist’s use of imager, Brown argues, has the power to captivate the imagination, edify the mind, and cultivate moral discernment and theological reflection.

Issues Of Life In Poetic Verse
$27.99Add to cartIn this unique work I have covered a variety of topics that have become vital though controversial in daily life. I have approached the subjects with an infusion of poetic verse dealing with the issues encountered in life that have been, and are, issues of personal conflict. There is no attempt to be scientific nor to disprove evolution, although many readers will require scientific answers for which there are none, because both Evolutionists and Creationists utilize faith for the proof they employ in their philosophies of life for the past, present, and future. The issues of faith are the real and only answers to many issues. The treatment of them is the result of a deep, personal religious faith that reveals to us a nation’s loss of morality in all segments of society from the point of view of a Christian. Christian Faith and Patriotism are two issues widely covered because morality is deeply involved in each of them. The last half of the book deals with an apologetic of creation because it is obvious to all Christian readers that there is a subtle attack against the promotion of their faith in America as a very real issue. Suffocation of Christianity from many quarters is an open fact of life. Many of the topics treated are not generally in the public’s daily reading matter and it should encourage Christians to continue to maintain a faith strong enough to withstand the attacks to destroy the Christian faith in America that have just begun in earnest.

Understanding God : Poems And Songs

Her first writing was in 1974 after a traumatic divorce when she cried out: “God, why me?
