Picture a 1000-piece puzzle before it’s assembled, but without a picture on the box. The first thing you do is put the outside pieces together. That’s your foundation, so to speak. As you begin to fit the inside pieces together, you find yourself making little 'clusters' of pieces that fit together perfectly. They become small pictures within the big picture, but it is still not clear what the whole picture looks like. By looking at the clusters, you might be able to guess how the finished product will look... or you might not. When we read the Word of God, I’m guessing that more times than not, we read many of the same passages over and over through the years, but neglect reading the whole Bible. We get a picture in our minds of who God is, but we don’t necessarily see all of His attributes. In other words, we don’t see the whole picture. The passages that we read are like the little 'clusters' that we find in the puzzle. We use those clusters when we talk about the Lord. Each cluster shows us some of His attributes, but we don’t really get a true picture of who God is. We need to put all of the pieces together to really understand. God wants those of us who know Him to share what we know with those who need to hear. But it doesn’t stop there. If we really love Him, then we should do everything we can to get to know Him better, including reading the Bible daily, from beginning to end. Only then will we be able to present Him more accurately to the world. For the first 38 years of my walk with the Lord, I read the Bible, but not every day. I could tell you a lot about Jesus, after reading the New Testament over numerous times. I was even involved in a number of Bible studies over the years. But during that time, I never read the Word from beginning to end. Then, just over two years ago, I started that journey. It was amazing what I learned about God that I never knew before! I not only read, but felt more than ever, the amazing love our God has

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding.

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
