Synopsis

to know you: A Celebration Revelation in Creation "to know you" includes poetry that rises from deep vulnerability to the wonder and profound beauty of the created world: October trees have revelation leaves apocalyptic maples utter startled flaming joy . . . [from "October trees"] Revelation in Life by Faith "to know you" is also a poetic journal of one man's journey of faith in the midst of everyday life; a witness to the joys and the costly demands of the life of faith; to the power of the Father's mercy and the critical human need for it; to a heart shaped by thanksgiving. Search relentless Lord Reach deep in me, your wounding friend, and mark your signs in my heart sand. Then in every hour ascend in me to heights of you by paths that I will follow.
