Synopsis "Inspirations & Lamentations: Literary Devotions of an Unusual Sort"
Inspirations & Lamentations: Literary Devotions of an Unusual Sort is a unique devotional book, combining a depth of spirituality, devotion, and desire for Him with a fresh, realistic, faith-filled contemporary assessment of modern life. Addressing the quotidian, the transcendental, the mystical and the holy familial, Inspirations & Lamentations is composed of one hundred one-page offerings that beg further reflection. From the author contemplating the size of his hands (literally and metaphorically), to addressing a weeping desire to be with Him, to recognizing the nearly unspeakable beauty in a simple stand of woods in a suburban neighborhood, to dissecting Buddy the Elf's motivations in the mailroom scene in Elf, Inspirations & Lamentations offers literary-often playful-reflections, with an attention to language and a uniqueness of perspective. The book is written from the author's point of view as husband and father, but, most of all, as a modern-day seeker of Him, living amidst the challenges of our times.
