God Speaks Through Wombs

<P><B>Christian Book Award Finalist</B></P><P><B>But God speaks through wombs<br/>birthing prophetic utterances. . . .<br/>Enough of this unbelieving religion <br/>that masquerades as faith.<br/>Divine favor is placed on what we<br/>have disgraced.</B></P><P>In <I>God Speaks Through Wombs</I> Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a new poetic register. These are declarative poems faithfully proclaiming the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the fresh words / that speak of / things impossible. </P><P>From the Magnificat (That girl can sing! . . . She has a voice / That can shatter shackles) to the baptism of Christ (I stepped in / Committing insurrection) this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance-against all hope-that's been in the gospel all along.</P>
