Alive, Awake, Alert
Dead or alive? Drowsy or awake? Distracted or alert? How do we respond to the Apostle Pauls charge to be alive together with Christ, awake even at night, and alert in unceasing prayer? Layered with scriptural allusions, Cynthia Griffins Alive, Awake, Alert, a collection of 101 poems, sounds a call to live fully in Christ, to wake from apathy, and to watch with alertness to the Holy Spirit. With an energetic and concise style, she offers readers a combination of soberness and delight. Packed with doctrine, wit, and imagery, her poetry provides readers with a meaty meal. No cotton candy Christianity here! Like a digger of ancient wells, she unearths rhyme, rhythm, and structure reminiscent of Donne, Herbert, and Hopkins to craft over fifty sonnets bursting with joyous faith, vulnerable reality, and thought-provoking metaphors. The Introduction invites readers to come to the Lords table for constant nourishment on Gods Word in unceasing meditation. In Part One: Responses in Communion with the Host, the poems are prayer reflections addressed to God Himself, Father, Son, and Spirit. In Part Two: Conversations in the Cloud of Witnesses, perspectives from both Old Testament saints and New Testament disciples combine with the poets voice in an enriching dialogue of faith. After most poems, biblical references follow providing interpretative context. For readers who enjoy deeper analysis, the Addendum: Authors Annotations gives background and additional references for the meditations.
Psalm Songs
This book features a poem--a poetic meditation--on each of the Psalms. Many of the ideas of the Psalms, and words they are expressed in--are difficult for todays readers to relate to. Each of these meditations keeps the idea of the Psalm within contemporary words and ideas. These are valuable for daily meditations and are true to the biblical Psalms as they are written.
