    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The notion of God we hold is what steers the ship. Our idea of God will always call the shots. We have this image of Jesus spending 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, but I suspect it was mostly God saying tenderly, You’re here! and Jesus not really knowing what to say in response.

    #2 The God who never stops loving us is the same God who will not drop us. We must break the jar and transform our conception of God, so that it becomes fluid and evolving.

    #3 God is always loving, compassionate, and kind. Our notion of God can atrophy and get stuck in our own arrested development. It can be hard to shake the transactional god who puts us in debt.

    #4 The God we have is never embarrassed by us. It is always hard for us to believe in the nonjudgmental, loving, and merciful God, but that is the God we actually have.

      On Mary Oliver and Resisting Poems of Gladness

      Jan 22, 2019

      Was it possible that, despite my best efforts to resist proscriptive poetry doctrines, somewhere along the line I’d internalized the unspoken tenet that accessible poems of praise and wonder are less worthy of real attention? The post On Mary Oliver

      The Broadway show “Paradise Square” is a rarity this season: It’s an original musical – not a stage version of an existing movie property, like “Aladdin,” nor a jukebox musical based on a singer’s work such as “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.” I caugh

      'Devotions' Collects Five Decades Of Poetry By Mary Oliver

      Oct 18, 2017

      The first thing one notices about Devotions, a survey of Mary Oliver’s poems from more than five decades, is how big the book is – unusually so. At more than 400 pages, it registers palpably on the lap, a pleasant anchor through an autumn afternoon.
