DOWNLOAD EBOOKJack Butler’s Broken Hallelujah: New and Selected Poems is a celebration that refuses to explain away pain and trouble, or to oversell the very transcendence it seeks. Its poems are always musical, whether formal, improvisational, or written according to the music of speech itself. Butler understands poetry more nearly as the essence of that speech than as one of its products, the heart of the ways we know each other. Some of these forms are as old as English, but the voice stays immediate; and whether dark or hopeful, comic or sober, passionate or calm and knowing, these poems speak with the urgency of praise itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat happens when an evangelical hardliner falls in love with an intriguing woman from halfway around the world who challenges everything he believes? An American drug dealer radically turns to Jesus and joins a fundamentalist movement in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. A Swiss teacher is searching for meaning after a tragic loss and sets out on an adventure. When Justin and Sophie meet, the sparks fly-and their views about God clash. Justin's faith leaves no room for doubt, and Sophie's faith cannot tolerate absolutes. The two embark on an epic search for what it really means to follow Jesus. Their budding love is challenged by both their different views and by Justin's missionary zeal. He moves to the mission field in India only to find disillusion and betrayal where he least expected it. In the meantime, Sophie joins a contemplative community in the Swiss mountains to find peace and a faith that carries her. But they cannot forget the week that changed their lives. A Broken Hallelujah takes the reader on an adventurous spiritual journey across America, Europe, and Asia in search for life's deepest questions about faith, compassion, and the unifying love of God. This contemporary Christian novel with an international setting is both spiritual journey and an adventurous romance story. But beyond that it is a challenge to discover a faith that can withstand disillusionment, deconstruction and spiritual abuse. It is an invitation to follow Jesus with authenticity and humility and in doing so, discover the love of God that transcends any doctrine.
