A Promise for the Dust

In its scriptural meditations, reflections upon various readings and other occasional verse, A Promise for the Dust draws the reader into a deeper exploration of the human experience and a broader appreciation of a world full of wonder and meaning. Through an inspiring and often challenging use of language and imagery, this collection both enlivens and articulates the hope and promise that permeate the many facets of Godas relationship to his creation. These forty poems speak with the humble and expectant voice of a pilgrim traversing a hard road, but certain of the journeyas impulse and destination. As in the human heart, the lines contain and struggle with the seemingly contradictory dissonance and harmony present in the marriage of manas need to the faith that would be its remedy. A Promise for the Dust joins that long tradition of Christian thought and feeling that frequently finds its clearest expression in creative literature.
