God Received: A Book of Moments (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781730929458)

This collection of poems is written in order to draw the reader into the moment. How we understand this is secondary to the reality that we must do this. There are many ways to view the matter, and it can be painful and beautiful. We sense reality this way. Authentically, to do this is to sit with our past and trust the future is good. Sometimes there are no answers even when there is still so much for us to say. ===+=== From the forward: "Dan's "God Received" reflects living in the moment, fully present with yourself and God. His unique collection of poetry offers hope and restoration to everyone in all seasons of life. Through the exposer of his own heart, Dan's writing vividly radiates God at the center of our everyday triumphs and tribulations. Each poem is carefully crafted with delicate wisdom that leaves you drawing near to the Creator, Himself." ====+==== Sometimes our past is a painful thorn and life goes on moving forward through a steady duration, unstopping, on a spectrum of tragedy and tenderness. Occasionally we have a moment to be vulnerable in a deeper way in order to fight for a life of more abundance. May God meet us more fully when we do the work to be in this moment.Reality exists in the now, and being there is freedom. After examining what has happened and is gone. And having faith that tomorrow will be safe staying in the future where it lives, we can let shame, judgment, and worry slip away into the wind where it belongs; where God can take care of those things on our behalf, as God does so often. We are invited to experience that sensation when we live in the moment. May the reader be ushered into that mysterious communion. ======+====== "As a lover of poetry and a woman of faith, I found Dan's book to be authentically refreshing and relatable to the daily struggle of actively seeking to live "in the now". Moved by the truth which pours through each page, I became immersed in eternal freedom only Christ can offer us when we give Him ourselves. As I read I couldn't help but dwell on the peaceful invitation that is extended to us from God through His majestic heart, compassion, and unending grace." - Reviewer =====+=====
