Book Description
The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.

Book Description
Viewing prose as a limited way to convey the dream and spirit of the Gospels, this text instead relies upon the power of poetry to provide immediate access to a fresh, radical interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. The original work here separates itself from similar anthologies by showing an ability to rethink everyday faith through empowerment and liberation. O'Murchu uses language in its most direct form to accept the challenge of these prophetic teachings in the modern world. Through the unique freedom of poetry such as this, the full depth and vitality of these beliefs can be grasped and held by a new generation.

Book Description
The poetry collection “Poems to Jesus Christ Volume III: The Holy Spirit” is about the spiritual journey of a man’s soul through his discovery of his gift for writing poetry when he experienced a spiritual awakening while he was teaching poor people in Asia. The poet went through a three-year-long depression trying to understand what God wanted him to do with his life after his return to America. The following poems were inspired during this rebirth of his talent, which brought out the best of his gift for poetry while making his faith in God stronger. This book completes the poet’s spiritual journey and his promise to Jesus Christ to write three books of spiritual poetry as a thank-you gift to Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit for always being by his side and saving his life so many times and helping him get out of his depression. The first book described to God the pain of the world, sadness, and sorrow. The second book included more happier and optimistic prayers written in poetic form. The third book completes the circle of happiness and evolution of the poet’s return to the world and to happiness, focusing on the beauty of life.

Book Description
Religious piety has rarely been animated as vigorously as in Old English Poems of Christ and His Saints. Ranging from lyrical to dramatic to narrative and showing great inventiveness, these ten anonymous poems vividly demonstrate the extraordinary hybrid that emerges when traditional Germanic verse adapts itself to Christian themes.

Book Description
The poems are from GOD, using June Pierce-Hampton as the messenger. It is so amazing, once the title for the poem was established; the words flowed from GOD’s spirit through her spirit onto paper. June was amazed after writing the poetry of the effect it had on her and others she read them to. After writing the poems, she decided to try and reference the poems with the Kings James Version of the Bible; they all were there! Every poem could be related to a Book, Chapter and Verse. In some cases, there were more than one or two scriptures that corresponded to some of the poems. This is GOD sent, GOD given and received for GOD’s proposes! The poetry in this book is for uplifting and giving one hope, security and happiness by believing and trusting in our CREATOR, and HIS SON, JESUS. Thus, June decided to name the manuscript POETRY FROM CHRIST.
