With the Tongue of Angels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781981624119)

While not necessarily a nod to angelic visitation, this compilation of poetry by Lisa Barker focuses on experiences of inspiration and personal revelation - or what she termed, "Ray of light through the clouds" moments. While these events can be fleeting, they provide us with sweet reminders that we have close ties to heaven. Moments when we feel enlightened, when "All the unrelated ends make sense", encourage us in our efforts to walk the path of faith, and let us know we are moving in the right direction (With the Tongue of Angels, A Few Fleeting Threads). Some of the poems weave well-known scriptural themes with her own experiences of divine intervention (7 Loaves, The Tempest). Others are reminders of the nearness of heavenly interest and assistance (Grace Notes, In Anticipation). Written with honest acknowledgment of the difficulty presented by our own weakness and the pressures of daily life; the poems remind us that through our challenges, the "Traces of His fingerprints linger" (The Potter, The Knot). Finally, Lisa explores thoughts about some of Christianity's most basic tenets (the fall and grace) with insight based on the unique LDS perspective of these events (For Eve, What Fruit is This?). Rounding out the deeply introspective and spiritually oriented pieces are some moments of levity inspired by her children (Laundry Day, Slow Down, Breakfast!).
