Covering various themes that range from hope and faith to darkness and light to sacrifice, forgiveness, suffering, and compassion, Atoche explains that God\u2019s guidance can help one find peace and clarity in times of despair. The included explanatory prose beautifully guides readers through the reading of each poem. This compelling blend of elegant, poetic language and spiritual insight will awaken love and compassion and take readers into a brighter and more joyful place of existence.
