The ISBN# 978-1-63490-536-7 has been moved to the latest edition with the revised title "Finding God: Our Quest for a Deity and the Dragons We Meet On the Way" Finding God shouldn’t have been difficult. After all, He had summoned her. But when the author can’t find Him in any of the usual places, she demands an explanation for His seemingly capricious behavior. It is, however, when she inspects her own behavior—and that of the rest of us—that she meets the characters who confound us in our search. They bully, enchant, seduce, distract and, yes, even breathe fire. Meanwhile, God, who wants to be found, is restrained by the very free will which is His gift to humankind. This is an unusual topic for a modern poet, but so is the author’s approach. She livens metered verse with conversational phrasing, leavens sober reflection with playful imagery, and surprises us with a chronicle of chivalry, adventure, deception, romance, and even dragons. Last but not least, she allows us to eavesdrop on her relationship with God, who weighs in with a few surprises of His own.
