word by Word

More about the book

In his second collection of poems, award-winning Christian author Pierce Taylor Hibbs (Struck Down but Not Destroyed, The Book of Giving, The Great Lie) ruminates on the mystery, depth, and beauty of selected passages in the Old and New Testaments. Many of these poems explore the deeply personal nature of God's dealings with humanity, while others creatively link biblical truth to the author's daily life. This collection also gathers the author's poems previously published in theological works. Taken together, the poems in word by Word range from free form to fixed verse, but all of them are marked by the writer's enthusiasm for the speech of God and its ongoing power in revealing, illuminating, and directing life. Readers will find here devotional and artistic worship in words.
