Reviews
"Readers like me who have less command of Holy Writ than the author may be most taken with Davis's skill and ardor in his (fitting) humanization . . . of the collection's secondary characters. . . . Davis asks: 'What does the man cradling / the water jar know of the Teacher?' The answer in part is 'Likely . . . nothing / more than where to stand and how / to hold the jar and to be watching / for two Galileans who will enter the city.' The man's a mortal like any of us, going about quotidian life, only to be stunned by the presence of a miraculous transcendence. We are stunned in turn by the deftness, magnanimity, and persuasiveness that Davis brings to this extraordinary sequence." --Sydney Lea, author of Six Sundays Toward a Seventh "Sometimes clever, always thoughtful, and, on occasion, glorious, Davis's poems shine with a unique sensitivity to the Gospels. They are filled, quite simply, with belief. Reading them softened me to the possible presence of Jesus in my wayward life." --Paul J. Willis, author of Somewhere to Follow "In Trespassing on the Mount of Olives , Davis explains, 'They are the story's unnamed / who move me . . . since without / them . . . there is no story.' Through persona poems and first-person narratives, the contemporary and biblical intersect with insight and humor. . . . What follows are spiritual and social examinations: 'How to clear out a self from a self,' how to protect the environment, how to face doubt and mortality, and, ultimately, how to 'do whatever he tells you,' even if that means, according to Davis, writing poems. Thank God for the latter." --Marjorie Maddox, author of True, False, None of the Above

Synopsis
These poems explore freely the familiar ground of the Gospels in the New Testament, often from an odd angle or unexpected point of view. Some are grounded in the author's sense of the biblical present, others in the author's or an imagined speaker's present; all are accompanied by a triggering Scripture reference to provide background for the curious or a focus for further reflection. As stated in the author's preface, "These are poems, not doctrinal or evangelistic treatises. Their task . . . is to work and wear well as poems.", These poems explore freely the familiar ground of the Gospels in the New Testament, often from an odd angle or unexpected point of view.

    This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you!

    Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).
