Wordless Witness Sean O'Neill

What if you imagined yourself in a scene from the ministry of Jesus. What if you imagined yourself as an inanimate object: a cup, a rock, a mountain; or an animal, like the donkey on which Jesus rode into Jerusalem; or even something as insubstantial as the cloud that parted at Jesus baptism? All of these played a key role during the ministry of Jesus. What if you could see things through the eyes of these Wordless Witnesses. The poems in this book take on this point of view and present Gospel events from a new and surprising angle, which sheds light on the nature of Jesus, and also what it must have been like to be up close and personal with the Person who created the universe but humbled himself to visit us as a man.
