Description:
God of All Flying Things is a gentle companion for those seeking God in the midst of lives full of beauty, longing, and mystery. In this intimate collection of prayers and poems, Rachel Devenish Ford writes from the quiet spaces of her devotion to Christ. These are the words of someone who has sat quietly in sorrow, who has shouted prayers into the dark, and who keeps looking for the presence of God in birdsong, breath, and daily bread. Alongside her poems, Rachel shares original paintings made during times of meditation. These are visual prayers that speak of reaching, belonging, and finding a dwelling place within the soul. Whether you are feeling full or empty, certain or in the whirl of mystery, this book is an invitation to connection with the Divine Presence. From the Author: “I want this book to be kind and fierce. I want it to breathe. I want it to be human. I want it to reflect God's goodness, warmth, and love. We, looking at God, have so many voices. We reflect the brilliance of God in our cells. I am one voice, one of so many. So many people, alive or long passed, have encouraged me when my heart needed it. My voice also sings, and I want to show you my songs. These are the poems of my attachment, the long, wandering relationship I have had with Christ. These are the poems of my wrestling. There are so, so many poems of love. Adoration. Longing. Resilience. Wisdom. Justice. Worship. These are the prayers I needed to shout. Dear friend, these poems are for you.” Duration - 2h 58m. Author - Rachel Devenish Ford.
