ABOUT THE BOOK
Where Will Eternity Find YouBy Glenn F Stapley
Edited by Glenna Birkhof (FriesenPress, 2023) The son of God Jesus Messiah came
Disciples were called each by name Crowds did come, the sick, the lame Jesus healed, taught, and did proclaim “My Father’s kingdom is here to remain” Where Will Eternity Find You is a collection of scripture based poems from Glenn F. Stapley inspired by and emerging from his meditations on the bible and Holy Spirit. Glenn weaves these ruminations into rhyme and metre that carries readers through contemplations of individual bible verses and thoughts on faith more broadly. Glenn also shares stories of the moments of cognizance that led to each poem, offering insight on the scriptural revelations that brought him to write, despite having no previous inclination to do so. Many poems in this collection see Glenn inhabiting the voices of biblical figures such as Zacchaeus and directly invoking biblical settings, providing a new way to engage with and appreciate familiar scenes. These meet poems in which Glenn reflects on his own years of faith and personal experiences of salvation, with the collection seamlessly moving from Bethlehem to the back deck and easy chair where Glenn often found himself writing, reading, and reflecting on the bible. In Where Will Eternity Find You, Glenn celebrates his love of God through language, and invites any others who wish to celebrate their faith to join him. |
