Jesus is the Amen

This book contains some of the poems, prose, and drawings Carol Lacy has done over the years. As the title of the book indicates, these poems, prose writings, and drawings have a Christian theme: that all of God\'s promises have been or will be accomplished by his incarnate son, Jesus. Chapter One contains ten poems. The first four poems are about God\'s creation of human persons and their environment and about God\'s purposes for human persons. The next three poems are about the fall of human persons into disobedience and rebellion. The final three poems are about God\'s redemption from this fall. Chapter Two contains five prose pieces. The first two are introductions to and interpretations of two important books of the Old Testament:Job and Isaiah, the third is a reflection on Jesus as the ultimate source and inspiration of all art, the fourth is an presentation and interpretation of Gerard Manley Hopkins\' poem, \"The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo\", the fifth is a chapel talk Carol prepared for the graduating class of 2020. Chapter Three contains three poems about Carol\'s extended family. Chapter Four contains ten drawings by Carol.
