Touch the Sky - the Heart's Safe Haven
Author: E. A. Vinson
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449071090
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
"Touch The Sky" is about love. It is a series of love songs or poems. The wondrous love between a man and a woman. The mystery of God's love for a man and a man's love for God in communion in the big things and in the little things of life. The mystery of being sent as a living sign and ambassador of unbound love and of joy unspeakable, knowing the weight of the Presence of the Divine "with" us, through the thick and thin of life, its ups and downs, its great griefs and great joys to this one End - that Love conquer all to make all things as new again. Without love there is no hope. With love our hope is like a great diamond with many faces which shine on us with the many facets of God's face reflected here in so many aspects of life. The facets of His Love are like a rock not hewn by human hands with which He draws and makes us His. "Touch The Sky" contains treasure that the author has brought back from diving trips beneath the surface of the seen where the net of thought drips words back into the the ungraspable whole of it.
