theatre, ' metaphorically integrating on-stage bodies with the
technologized, digitized, or mediatized, to re-imagine subjectivity
for a post-human age. It covers a variety of examples, to propose
new theoretical tools for understanding performance in our changing
world.
When Angels Are Born celebrates poetry as a language of deep
intimacy, a language meant to touch the human spirit and awaken it
to the mystery of life, all life. These poems are an invitation
into a world that is intimate and wondrous, one that explores the
depths of all human hearts. Beckoning the reader to engage in a
spiritual practice of divine intimacy that opens the eyes and ears
of the human heart, and invites a person into the mystery of
relationships and creation, a world of openness and timelessness.
Such a practice offers the reader an opportunity to explore the
mystery of human thought, interconnections, creativity, and design,
our deepest intentions, in a perichoresis or divine dance of words,
love, intimacy, and transformation. Through this dance and
practice, this openness the reader may discover a spiritual
indwelling, an intimacy, where we discover oneness at work
throughout creation, where we find that we dwell within one
another, come and dance this divine dance. "That they all may be
one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may
be one in us (John 17:21)."
Out of the annals of the author's own family history comes this
story of the strange death of a popular circuit judge in a
mysterieous shooting that remained unsolved for many years. "Who
shot the Judge?" remained an unsettled question, despite all
efforts to find the answer. This is the account of a hunting
accident in the north woods of Michigan and the effects of such
unsolved mystery on members of the family and others. The story
concludes with a surprise ending and alludes to the question of the
degree to which such unhealed grief might affect even succeeding
generations. The prompting to write the story was born for the
author in an experience of personal healing in a prayer group, from
which the author emerged with a compelling sense that this story
had to be written. He could never seem to let it go. The judge was
the author's own grandfather, whom he, of course, never knew.

"Chosen." "Special." Those are the words Margot Starbuck used to
describe herself as a child adopted into a loving family. And when
her adoptive parents divorced, her dad moved east, and her mom and
dad each got remarried, she told herself that she was extra loved,
since she had more than two parents and people in different times
zones who cared about her. But the word she really believed about
herself was rejected. First by her birthparents. Then by her
adoptive father-when he moved away. Then by her stepfather. Then by
her birthfather a second time, when she tried to invite him into
her life. Most of all, Margot felt rejected by God the Father, who
she also suspected could not be trusted. Margot's story begins with
a woman looking for her biological father. But it doesn't end when
she finds him. Instead, his rejection punctures her soul and sends
her on a different search--one that leads to a different Father.
This Father did not just "sacrifice a son" like the parents she
knew, but instead gave his own life out of love for her. Maybe
you've been disappointed and wounded by parents who divorced, left,
were abusive, or simply weren't there. Enter into Margot's story.
She has been where you are. She knows the pain you carry. And her
journey can lead you to the God who nurtures, protects and always
says, "I am for you."
