This is not a fix-it quick kind of book. Instead of the book of
your dreams, this is the book you want when your dreams seem out of
reach. This brave, honest and funny devotional takes a refreshing
new look at the inevitable twists and turns of life.For all of us
at some point, life events can arrive accompanied by a sense of
disappointment, heartache or grief. When Rachel and Tim's son was
born with severe and complex brain damage, their hearts and dreams
lay shattered. But this 40-window devotional explores how
brokenness doesn't necessarily need fixing, and that growth,
transformation and abundance can actually happen at the broken
edges of life. Jesus shows us the heart and character of God. His
life was hard and messy, and those at the time were baffled by such
a humble demonstration of God. They got it wrong then - are we
still getting it wrong now? Are we still searching for the
Messiah-in-shining-armour? Maybe, God gives us the greatest view
through life's broken windows.
Poetry is "closest to the heart." Through its symbols, word
pictures, intuition, feelings and emotions it is a hint of history,
the momentary present and a visionary tool of the future. A poem or
a painting is analogous to an iceberg-10% visible, 90% hidden
meaning. "The reader provides the narrative." These poems, with the
exception of five or six, were written after 2000. They show my
explorations into the arts, love, people I met along the way, my
protestations, introspections, and new perspectives I gained after
times of change, personal problems and separations from those I
love. The poems enabled me to find new strength, to harness my
thoughts of years past, to live peaceably in the present and to
recognize that a future of dreams and hopes can become reality.
