How do you say Go*d?
Is it God… or is it Good?That question sits at the heart of
Simply Go*d, a contemplative collection of praise poems that invites readers to experience the sacred not as an abstract idea, but as a living presence woven into daily life.
Originally published in 2011 and now thoughtfully republished,
Simply Go*d, Volume 1 offers gentle, accessible poetry rooted in mindfulness, spiritual reflection, and embodied practice. These poems arise from the author’s daily morning ritual—combining movement, meditation, visual art, and writing—and are offered as an invitation rather than instruction.
This new edition includes
full-color reproductions of Susan Kirsch’s original artwork, replacing the black-and-white images in the original edition. Many poems are paired with visual expression, creating a rich, multisensory experience that encourages reflection, creativity, and presence. All future volumes in the
Simply Go*d series will also feature color artwork.
The poems themselves explore themes of gratitude, grace, doubt, joy, activism, embodiment, and compassion—meeting readers wherever they are, without dogma or doctrine. Whether opened at random or read slowly, one poem at a time, this book is meant to be returned to again and again.
“Herein is a treasure: an invitation to be inspired, to breathe in knowledge, and to experience the Divine in daily life.”— Tracy Gary, Founder, Inspired Philanthropy
