Customer Reviews

As deep as it gets - outstanding!
This is the best Christian poetry I have ever read.

Don't buy this if you want an easy read - this is challenging, deeper than you'd expect, even from poetry, and as rewarding as you would expect from the author who inspired CS Lewis.

There are 366 short poems - don't be deceived by this; I need to read each one at least twice to get a grasp of the meaning.

The CS Lewis quote on the cover sums it up ; "I know hardly any other write who seems closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ himself."
