The poems and hymns in this collection give voice to the triumphs and tragedies of life in a broken world. Here there is praise of the crucified and risen Christ, dark lamentation of a penitent wrestling with despair, meditations upon the life of our Lord, thanksgiving for the gift of family, and much more. Using the vivid and earthy language of the Scriptures themselves, Chad Bird crafts poetry by which believers who rejoice, weep, struggle, and hope can speak to God with honesty and fidelity.
