For God's Sake Pay Attention: Realizing Life While We Live It: Poems and Reflections about the Journey - Paperback

by Jody Seymour (Author)

In For God's Sake Pay Attention, Jody Seymour uses poetry, the language of the soul, to capture the attention of the would-be pilgrim on life's journey. The invitation is to "realize life while living it," rather than miss the rich offerings of everyday life. Perhaps burning bushes are more ubiquitous than one might expect. Seymour explores themes of the natural world, life and faith, Scripture, and the church seasons of Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter, offering the opportunity to ponder them in a new way. Contemplating these words will help slow the tempo of a hurried world and give readers greater clarity about their own journeys.
