DOWNLOAD EBOOK‘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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTouching 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is not enough to be on the sidelines and watch others touch godliness-it is for you! So often we find ourselves on the outside looking in. We watch others who have a sincere godliness and a trust in the Lord that can't be stopped-yet it all seems so unattainable to us. K.P. Yohannan challenges us that we, too, can experience this godliness as we actively follow Christ down the path of surrender and submission. Chapter by chapter, he gets inside our heads and, with fatherly concern, confronts us with truth that few others are willing to say. Riveting, yet gentle. Comprehensive, yet concise. There is something for everyone on these pages. Includes a helpful study guide!
