Summary

”Christianity, from a priest and a nun, two stories crossed by the secret, by the suffering of not recognizing themselves in their ”sins”, in denying a reality that is telling them, more and more strongly, that they are weak before the acceptance of their wrong decisions. The characters are just mere figures placed in the plot to delve into a constant and disturbing message: someone is always on top of someone else; someone who sentences with ideas conditioned to their benefit”. ALEXIS CUZME, writer ” Structure of prayer is developed in an environment of religiosity and erudition, because in relation to the famous painting The Garden of Delights, by Hieronymus Bosch, the protagonist - who is a priest - interprets his own behavior and that of other human beings, from the beginning to the end of time”. VERÓNICA FALCONÍ, writer

A priest tormented by his instincts. Is this a pointless fight against the devil or a test of the heavens? A pregnant novice. Is it a transgression of the rules or a miracle in times of skepticism? A parade of exalted characters who defend the foundations of doctrine, and others, from miserable existences, whose lives call into question the foundations that support theology. Narrated from different points of view and approached through formal and thematic daring, Structure of Prayer immerses us in dense dramas where the spiritual decomposition of each of the protagonists will shorten the space for redemption, which not all will reach. The theological virtues and the mysteries of faith merge to give rise to the extensive Way of the Cross that circulates throughout these pages through the seven capital sins that are presented in the form of a bestiary, with each demon as a symbol of excess: Asmodeus, lust; Belfegor, laziness; Beelzebub, gluttony; Amon, anger; Leviathan, revenge; Mammon, greed; and, Lucifer, pride. Despite the crudeness of its lines, this novel is a spiritual book.

    Nature has dazzled with her work in seasons past and now begins to sculpt with light and colour in yet another masterclass.  The landscape can now run from stormy grey to blizzard white and all manner in between.  Temperatures drop and the change is dramatic, bleak, but beautiful in its own wonder.   
 
Here, each and every day is celebrated with distinct and separate verse; Some poems commemorate the day it was written, others the birth or death of the writer or a particular significant moment that engages poet with date and verse.   
 
Once more our classic poets describe the unfolding days…..

    Lunar Honey is a collection of poetry about evolving. The book is divided into 3 sections with thematic waves of love in various forms, culminating in self-empowering truths. 
In Lunar Honey, Holly Toomer highlights romance, authenticity, social disparity, resilience, spirituality and purpose. The poems in this book reflect how an infatuated and unhealthy love can almost be trance-like, so much so, that it is easy to understand how a person can lose theirself in another.  
This book illustrates how spiritually healing, the rediscovery and search for knowledge of self can be. It also serves as a reminder that after heartbreak, you must remember what matters the most to you and if you can’t immediately find what that is, look inward. What are you made of?
