Varied, beautiful, provocative and nurturing.

Morley has a wonderful turn of phrase herself and her commentaries are beautiful, insightful, and encouraging of a prayerful and personal response. I think this deserves to become a classic and will repay many readings.

Like the Psalms, the poetry is as much rooted in life experience ... Read moreas in piety, and the variety of authors ensures it is no narrow vein of spirituality which is bin promoted. Through wonderful reading notes, Janet Morley opens doors for discerning and reluctant readers of poetry alike.
John Bell of the Iona Community I think this is a brilliant Lent book, and one I would use. It is a marvellous anthology, but it offers so much more: critical insight into the poems, cultural and theological insight into their spiritual resonances and guidance as to how to read them prayerfully.
Angela Tilby, writer and broadcaster Morley takes a poem, interprets it and applies it, marking a pilgrimage of the heart . . . each interpretation making me feel as if I was gently taken apart and remade anew.
