The first book devoted to the study of love in the writings of Gerald Manley Hopkins, 'Touching God' offers fresh readings of Hopkins' poetry by considering love in relation to mutual touch.
‘Touching God: Hopkins and Love’ is the first book devoted to love in the writings of Gerard Manley Hopkins, illuminating our understanding of him as a romantic poet. Discussions of desire in Hopkins’ poetry have focused on his unrequited attraction to men. In contrast, Duc Dau turns to Luce Irigaray and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s theories of mutual touch to uncover the desire Hopkins cultivated and celebrated: his love for Christ. ‘Touching God’ demonstrates how descriptions of touching played a vital role in the poet’s vision of spiritual eroticism. Forging a new way of reading desire and the body in Hopkins’ writings, the work offers fresh interpretations of his poetry.
Prayer is an important spiritual discipline, yet for many, it can be either confusing, intimidating, or not well understood. On a popular level, prayer is commonly seen as a means to an end—asking and receiving from God. But is there much more to prayer? In Touching God: Discovering Prayer that Moves the Heart of God, you will discover a new dimension of prayer—one that will deepen not only this important spiritual discipline in your life, but also your relationship to God. This book will help you transform your prayer life from spiritual duty, to one that will touch the very heart of God, and when we touch the master’s heart, we experience the power of prayer in unimaginable ways.
Touching God is a gentle invitation to an experience of God that is immediate and intimate. Drawing from both her own life and a range of sources, author Ellyn Sanna shows how the lived symbol is often more truly felt than the theology behind it. A profound awareness of this helps us counter a cold, abstract image of God and make all of life sacramental.
The author takes you on a journey to far-reaching corners of the world, where he drinks tea with loving Sudanese Muslims, prays in ancient Coptic churches, and whirls with Sufi dervishes in the desert. In seeking the mystical in extraordinary places, he discovers that an intimate relationship with God can be found in known religious practices. The key is not the practice itself, but the role of the mind and the heart. With the right intention and contemplative approach, the religious practice unveils an attentive and loving God. The author draws upon Rumi and Hafez, in Islam, and Saint Teresa of Avila and Thomas Merton, in Christianity, and many others to discuss the fundamental principles for embracing the Divine. By distilling the basic tenets and practices of Islam and Christianity, he finds they both hold similar mystical treasures. Learn new and ancient methods for meditation, prayer, chanting, prayer beads and pilgrimages. Closely examine the Koran’s incredible poetry and beauty and gain insight into how it has brought millions to God. Learn about lectio divina, the ancient technique of listening to God’s personal communication with you through the Bible. The author provides step-by-step instructions for you to begin to use these mystical tools. By the end of the book, you’ll have taken your own journey into the heart of both Islam and Christianity and found Love.
