Read by the author. Do you feel like you live life looking in from the outside? From the way you speak, to the color of your skin, to the way you vote, or the way you pray, you don't fit the mold. And yet you find yourself still trying to prove yourself to others. In Set Me Free, New York Times bestselling author Lecrae invites you on a poetic and artistic exploration of how you can persevere against the lies of unworthiness to experience the freedom given to you in Jesus. Under the weight of America's racial history, church traditions, and cultural pressures, Lecrae found himself trapped in the belief that he had to earn his freedom or prove his right to be on the stage, or even in the pews of a church. As he learns to shed these old ways of thinking, Lecrae beckons you to step out of the beliefs that are holding you captive and to reconstruct your faith. Within this inspirational collection of poetry and essays, you will experience:Raw, lyrical expressions of what it means to be unfree in AmericaConfessional essays explaining Lecrae's personal journey to claim his freedom and his faithEmpowering words to help heal your wounded soulA testimony of God's unfailing love and eternal acceptance This book is perfect for:Followers of Jesus who feel disillusioned or who are deconstructing from their church experienceSpiritual seekers who feel on the outside of modern religious institutionsFans of Lecrae's music Provocative, vulnerable, convicting, and inspiring, Set Me Free is a poetry collection for our time.Zum Buch
The Milk Job is a contemporary poetic retelling of the biblical Book of Job, inspired by the author’s own struggle to cope with personal tragedy and suffering – a struggle that is shared by all of humanity. Using the literary device of the allegory and following the tradition of classical narrative poetry, Samuel Kilroy tells the tale of a hapless modern day Job, a tenant dairy farmer who overnight loses all he owns and loves in this world – his farm, his cows, and his milk. Like the biblical Job he endeavors to make sense of the calamity that befalls him as he goes through the emotional turmoil that is common to all humans who experience great loss. He seeks an explanation for his misfortunes from his landlord (“His Lordship,” as he refers to him), and ultimately finds a way to move on when an answer, which at first seems illusory, is provided.This carefully crafted, concise retelling of the Book of Job provides a fresh take on the meaning of Job’s suffering. It will appeal to those who value biblical contemplation and to those who enjoy storytelling through poetry, but, above all, it is shared in the hope that this version of Job’s travails and fortitude will provide meaningful comfort and guidance to those suffering through their own personal trials.Zum Buch
The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. It is at first difficult to comprehend that the carnage and slaughter of War could yield some of our greatest poetry. Harder still that in four years of horror humanity was able to destroy and create on such a scale.
