Divine: Poems, Meditations, and Prayers

Divine is not one book, but three. It opens with ""Free Spirit,"" a book of poetry inspired by the Nordic spiritual writers of the twentieth century. The poems are clear and direct, and invite the reader into the heart of a religious metamorphosis. The second book, ""Pilgrimage,"" is a collection of prose texts conceived on a solitary, month-long journey on the St. Olav's Way, which captures in words the wind in the empty wilderness; the intense silence of those summer nights. A series of prayers for the vulnerable make up the final book in this volume. Taken together, Divine is a deeply personal account of that which is the most personal of all, and yet unites us: of the paradoxes, hardships, blessings, and revelations that come together in the search for faith, and in the search for what it means to be a human being.
