A Journey of Identity, Courage, and Transformation in a Compelling Christian Poetry Book
Every sacred poem reveals the tranquil, holy beat of monastic life, a life characterized by quietness, prayers, and a continuous longing for God. By exploring the topics of spiritual longing, elevation, and the enigma of humankind’s soul, Father David Jones presents spiritual poetry that is in deep affinity with all who have once tried to find meaning outside the world’s noise. His expressions form a meditative area where the audience is softly asked to postpone their activities, inhale, and reestablish their connection with the eternal.
