Organized as a constrained dictionary, each entry begins with a single word-\u003cem\u003eCovenant, Grace, Obedience, Silence\u003c\/em\u003e-and unfolds through concrete imagery drawn from the physical world. A closing benediction follows, not as consolation, but as structural resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into two movements-\u003cem\u003eThe Arc of Faith\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Consequences of Faith\u003c\/em\u003e-the book traces how conviction forms, fractures, endures, and transforms. Rather than offering devotional reflection or theological argument, the poems isolate language itself, testing belief through compression, imperative, and material image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003cem\u003eDiction\u003c\/em\u003e series, this volume will appeal to readers of contemporary formal poetry, writers interested in constraint-based composition, and students of poetics exploring the architecture of language under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
