For some writers, scribbling is minimal-on the periphery of their
work. In Holy Scribbling, the scribbles take center stage and
become the means to the message. With sometimes quirky insight,
Katherine Moore takes us to sacred windows that allow the
spirituality of ordinary scenes to emerge. From the stark beauty of
a "Mystic Dawn" to the serenity of "Simple Solitude," we experience
the mysteries of nature, along with the routine demands of
relationships and circumstances. Holy Scribbling is a personal
book, but the images in these works expand into a universal
understanding of everyman. In poetic form, a sense of reality is
captured with a minimum of words. Paradoxically, it is her
appreciation of words that enhances a deep spiritual sense of
solitude and silence. As a contemplative commentary on glimpses of
life, Holy Scribbling offers you the chance to see not only
yourself, but also, possibly, God. "Take the journey with Katherine
Moore through this meditative volume of verse, and you will
experience more deeply that you are alive " -Jonathan Kelley,
D.Min., LPC, director of the Presbyterian Counseling Center,
Brunswick County, North Carolina "Katherine Moore's collection of
poems is visceral and haunting, yet joyful. She reaches into her
soul and shows us the frustrations and agonies of daily life, yet
through it all she keeps a sense of wonder and delight. ... Her
poems will make you both laugh and cry." -Elsa Bonstein, columnist
and poet

How does a grandmother answer her grandson's question: Is God
Behind the Big Blue Sky? This charming book is one grandmother's
response to the "theological" questions posed by four-year Charlie.
His questions are fairly typical of what children ages four to
seven would ask. These questions could throw curves to parents who
may be caught off guard with such pointed questions about faith and
God. Would you know how to answer them? Charlie's questions
include, "Who is God?" and "When I fly in a plane, will I see God?"
The answers to such queries are open-ended and broad. But reading
this book will provide a foundation on how to broach such topics
with young children. The theme presents responses telling of God's
supreme goodness and his overwhelming love for his Creation. God's
love is likened to the care that a child receives from a loving
parent. These are important spiritual messages for children and
adults alike. Katherine Roberts Moore, Christian educator and
spiritual director, wrote this book to answer her grandson's
questions about God. "Silence and centering prayer are most
inspiring for me. The actual cessation of activity and going into a
silent mode allows me to focus and to think more clearly." She
lives with her husband near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, and
is working on her next book. Publisher's website:
