Overview
I have seen many hurting people seeking to understand if there is a way to know God without the patronizing that comes with organized religion. Droves of people have discontinued membership and attendance in such organizations because they feel judged rather than assisted toward success. So many desire to believe in something greater than themselves, but their journey was cut short because of the pressure from overly pious people who portrayed and expected perfection. This collection of poems is a metaphor for hugs and acceptance. The Spirit and the Flesh are a mirror of the human lifespan. These poems reflect the raw emotion of being outside relationship with God. These poems also represent those who have come to know God but have little understanding of what it looks like to walk in the right relationship with Him. The fascinating discovery experienced while reading this book is that the reader may understand that all human beings of all religions or no religion go through the same struggles. This revelation is the fabric that has the potential to tie us all together in greater unity. The book concludes with poems that depict a new spiritual birth. Yet, even in this new birth, a person still has the same body, desires, and a myriad of potentially intrusive thoughts daily. Although we all have the power to choose which direction we will take as we sojourn through life, we are all called to something higher than simply remaining the same. I believe if the reader gives deep consideration and careful meditation while reading these poems, there will be revelations regarding the personal struggles that have manifested. The battle between the spirit of man and the flesh rages on in perpetuity.
