Reflections on the Water
$15.99
After publishing my last book, I soon found myself writing a significant amount of material again. What took shape from this writing has developed into my fourth book of poetry, Along the Shoreline. Along the Shoreline is filled with over one hundred pages of memorable, moving poetry, including “Ancient Paths,” “A Tapestry,” “Moments by the Sea,” and “Sunset Sky.” Among the wide range of subjects and poetic forms in this book, Along the Shoreline explores perspectives on life, nature, biblical faith, love, and so much more. I’ve also included some narrative poems (i.e. “Concrete Forest”), historic fiction poetry (like “Civil War” and “Native American”), and a few sequels to poems from my last book. As with all of my books, I’ve put forth my absolute best work to create art that will resonate with anyone from the casual reader to those who really love poetry. My hope and prayer is that Along the Shoreline will be an inspiration to people everywhere.

Soon after publishing my first poetry book, Time and Tide, I began writing poetry for my second book. Writing Reflections on the Water has been an unforgettable journey, and I’m truly grateful to see this collection of poetry come into being. I believe the material in Reflections on the Water exhibits a progression in my writing that will be inspiring and enjoyable for anyone who reads it. Reflections on the Water has a wide array of subjects and themes, such as nature, the ocean, the moments of life, memories, God, His grace, love, faith, Jesus, and many more that I know will resonate with you. Packed with nearly 100 pages of my absolute best, all-new poetry, Reflections on the Water runs the gamut from the aesthetic to the esoteric and explores certain types of poetry more deeply, such as sonnets and narrative poetry. No matter where you are on the spectrum as a reader, I truly believe you’re going to love Reflections on the Water!

Naked Tree : Love Sonnets To C S Lewis And Other Poems
$34.99Although best known as C. S. Lewis’s wife, Joy Davidman was a gifted writer herself who produced, among other things, two novels and an award-winning volume of poetry in her short lifetime.
The first comprehensive collection of Davidman’s poetry, A Naked Tree includes the poems that originally appeared in her Letter to a Comrade (1938), forty other published poems, and more than two hundred previously unpublished poems that came to light in a remarkable 2010 discovery.
Of special interest is Davidman’s sequence of forty-five love sonnets to C. S. Lewis, which offer stunning evidence of her spiritual struggles with regard to her feelings for Lewis, her sense of God’s working in her lonely life, and her mounting frustration with Lewis for keeping her at arm’s length emotionally and physically.

Seeing The Psalms
$40.00William Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance. Brown’s pioneering work explores the hermeneutical promises and challenges of interpreting the book of Psalms through the lens of metaphor. While form-critical analysis has been the staple of psalms research for over a century, scholars have by and large overlooked the Psalter’s use of imagery at great theological cost. More than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter embodies “incarnational language,” discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. The psalmist’s use of imager, Brown argues, has the power to captivate the imagination, edify the mind, and cultivate moral discernment and theological reflection.
