DOWNLOAD EBOOKWelcome to "52 Poems: Practicing 52 Spiritual Principles." This collection of poetry is a journey through the heart and soul, exploring the power of spiritual practices. Each poem is a reflection on a specific spiritual principle, inviting you on a journey of self-discovery and growth. The idea for this book came from a desire to go deeper into the wisdom of spiritual principles and to share what I learned along the way. Over the course of a year, I committed to writing one poem each week, focusing on a different spiritual principle. The result is a fabric of verses that together highlight the beauty and significance of these timeless teachings. The principles explored in this book are universal, going beyond religious boundaries and speaking to the goodness within us all. From surrender and honesty to compassion and gratitude, each poem offers a detailed perspective on how these principles can be applied in our daily lives. As you read through these pages, I invite you to approach each poem with an open heart and mind. Allow the words to resonate with your own experiences and aspirations. Take time to reflect on the messages received and consider how you can apply these principles into your own spiritual life. The structure of this book is designed to encourage a weekly exploration of each principle. You may choose to read one poem per week, using it as a focal point for meditation, journaling, or discussion with others. Alternatively, you may prefer to read the poems in sequence, allowing the build up of wisdom to wash over you. It is my deepest hope that these poems will serve as a source of inspiration, comfort, and guidance on your spiritual path. May they remind you of the incredible potential within you and the power of living in alignment with these timeless principles. As you embark on this poetic journey, remember that the true essence of spirituality is not in the words themselves, but in the way they come alive within you. May these poems be a springboard for your own spiritual awakening, guiding you towards a life of purpose, peace, and profound connection with God, society ,and self.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJay 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.
