Rhyme and Rest: Poetic Devotions for Weary Pilgrims

God is the original poet--such that much of the Bible expresses eternal truth in beautifully indirect ways. Rhyme, meter, parallelism, and metaphor provoke our imagination to a deeper consideration of spiritual realities. Rhyme and Rest comes alongside weary pilgrims and invites them to enjoy anew the mercies of God through poetic devotions, to find spiritual rest through personal psalms of prayer and praise. It offers a weekly rhythm of pondering, staying, and praying. Come to the feast and encounter the God who speaks compassion to strugglers, hope to the discouraged, and grace to sinners.
