The words of Jesus Christ are restored to their original poetic form in this extraordinary volume. Jesus Christ, whose teachings have been on the lips of millions for two millennia, is revealed here as one of the greatest poets of all time. What happened to deafen us to the poetic nature of his words? In migrating from Aramaic speech into written Greek translation, and later into English translation, the lyrics got locked up as prose. In The Poems of Jesus Christ Willis Barnstone unveils the essential poetry of the Gospels by taking the direct speech of Jesus from Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, and lineating and titling Jesus’s words as individual poems. Jesus’s poems are wisdom lyrics and narrative parables, rich with garden, animal, and nature imagery. Austere and poignant, they carry the totality of the Gospels’ message through the intensity of a single voice––the Gospel of Jesus.
The poetry collection “Poems to Jesus Christ Volume III: The Holy Spirit” is about the spiritual journey of a man’s soul through his discovery of his gift for writing poetry when he experienced a spiritual awakening while he was teaching poor people in Asia. The poet went through a three-year-long depression trying to understand what God wanted him to do with his life after his return to America. The following poems were inspired during this rebirth of his talent, which brought out the best of his gift for poetry while making his faith in God stronger. This book completes the poet’s spiritual journey and his promise to Jesus Christ to write three books of spiritual poetry as a thank-you gift to Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit for always being by his side and saving his life so many times and helping him get out of his depression. The first book described to God the pain of the world, sadness, and sorrow. The second book included more happier and optimistic prayers written in poetic form. The third book completes the circle of happiness and evolution of the poet’s return to the world and to happiness, focusing on the beauty of life.
"Christ The Redeemer" (Dedicated with love to the Brazilian people of the world) There's a voice in my heart A voice that guides you Purifies the darkness with beauty And new life This light in the forest. We are all natives. We are all human. My blood comes In the Amazon rain All the tears i have cried For you My beautiful ones. Inside the veins of the trees Is the wisdom to heal. Love each other-- I want the drug gangs To give up their weapons Find the Truth. There's a voice in my heart A voice that guides you. (c)2010 Copyright by Kassi Ydris. Written on Sunday, June 6th.

Jay Hulme is an award-winning transgender poet, performer, educator and speaker. In late 2019, his fascination with old church buildings turned into a life-changing encounter with the God he had never believed in, and he was baptised in the Anglican church. In this new poetry collection, Jay details his journey through faith and baptism during an unprecedented world-wide pandemic. As he finds God in the ruined factories and polluted canals of his home city, Jonah is heckled over etymology, angels appear in tube stations, and Jesus sits atop a multi-story car park. Cathedrals are trans, trans people are cathedrals, and amidst it all God reaches out to meet us exactly where we are. Jay’s poetry explores belief in the modern world and offers a perspective on queer faith that will appeal not only to Christians, but young members of the LGBT+ community who are interested in faith but unsure of where to start.
Divine Inspiration by Robert Atwan,George Dardess,Peggy Rosenthal Pdf
The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.

"Conjuring Jesus" presents a disarmingly fresh picture of Jesus as a mystic, a mischievous reformer, and a poet of the sensuous. It portrays him in his tumults and his moments of transcendence, his musings and stories, and his diverse encounters with women and men. Continually surprising in its perspectives, while closely based on Biblical texts, "Conjuring Jesus" reveals a man who is playful and resolute: moved by a keen and encompassing acceptance, a persistent impulse toward sinuous reshaping, and a liberating awareness of his own sexuality.
These poems have been written during a period of inspiration and it is hoped that they will serve the purpose for which they were written. Each poem may impact the reader differently and thus may the Lord speak to your hearts as you meditate on His goodness.

On 23 April 1943, Good Friday, Maria Valtorta reported hearing the voice of Jesus. From then until 1951 she produced over 15,000 handwritten pages in 122 notebooks, mostly detailing the life of Jesus as an extension of the gospels. Her handwritten notebooks containing close to 700 reputed episodes in the life of Jesus were typed on separate pages by her priest and reassembled, given that they had no temporal order, and became the basis of her 5,000-page book The Poem of the Man God.
For the past two thousand years, Jesus Christ has been one of the greatest gifts and one of the greatest mysteries in the world. History is full of books and poems that honor and glorify Jesus, and many scholars have studied Jesus' teachings. In The Invisible Poet for the first time, Jesus Christ emerges not only as the Son of God but also as the greatest poet who has ever lived. This book studies Jesus' words in their original poetic form, the same form that the Disciples heard directly from Christ. Jesus Christ : The Invisible Poet examines Jesus' use of Hebrew poetic traditions in his parables and poetry, bringing a new understanding to the gospels and message of Christ. Now you can experience Jesus' teachings in their original, ancient tradition. Despite this proliferation of poetry throughout the Bible, readers rarely equate Scripture with poetry, perhaps because we are most accustomed to reading poetry written in the Western tradition. To the Western eye, Scripture initially appears more like prose than poetry, mainly because Scripture typically does not rhyme. Therein lies the key to missing Christ's importance as a poet. Jesus was a poet of Hebrew tradition; Jesus worked in the language of poetics and he used poetry to share his Gospel. This book concludes beyond question that Jesus is the greatest poet of all time, that he is the invisible poet in his parables and proclamations, working all the while within traditional Hebrew poetic structure. Jesus is indeed a personality who worked for the betterment of humanity. This book traces the Master in his use of every substantial form of Hebrew poetry. Having such a demonstration of poetic mastery, we may well inquire with the wondering throng at Jerusalem, when they heard the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. "How," said they, "does this Man know letters, having never learned.?" It is the perennial wonder of mediocrity in the presence of genius. Let us then not deny him this praise, which even his enemies were forced to concede. We may hail Jesus as the Man of Letters. In presenting the poems of Jesus, we may well begin with Matthew, for this Gospel professedly contains his Logia, set forth at length, and hence we may expect that here, if anywhere, the form will have been preserved. It would be unreasonable to look for the exactness that the original text might possess. However, a certain sympathy also exists between the English version and the more primitive language; that sympathy has tended to recover the balance of expression. In part, the sympathy is due to the tremendous influence of the Scriptures in the development of English speech; it also arises from the fact that the first crude rendition of the Scriptures into the common speech of the Anglo-Saxons was by certain wandering bards who chanted the story of the Christ, and thus associated the gospels with a melodic flavor that has characterized all subsequent versions. The conclusion on this subject is very simple and practical: despite the fact that much of its poetic essence has been lost over time, Christ's words can be studied today through the prism of poetry, on the level of theory. If we look at religious ceremonies and rituals of almost all Christian denominations and religious communities, we notice that believers in fact sing the verses of the gospel and Christ's words. No matter what the particular language is, or the translation, the essential nature of Jesus' legacy is a lyrical one. In any language, Jesus emerges as the greatest poet the world has known.
