The Invisible God

In addition to being entertaining, these poems pose questions for Christians, whether new converts or seasoned believers. In many cases they can function as a checklist for the depth of one''s faith.""From the excellent opening piece, ''The Blind Ones,'' through the small poem ''Elephant at Our Elbow,'' John Brugaletta''s collection, introspective but far from self-centered, offers ways of reflecting on God and the Christian experience. The framework is modern, but the perspective is historical--including the ancient world, its famous deities and ''birthplaces of immortality,'' the figure who ''broke into time in a single location,'' and the image of the ''invisible God'' in history."" --Catharine Savage Brosman, author of Range of Light and On the Old PlazaJohn J. Brugaletta was brought to faith by the works of C. S. Lewis. He is Professor Emeritus of English at California State University, Fullerton, where he taught courses in Shakespeare, Dante, and Homer, while editing and publishing South Coast Poetry Journal. The Invisible God is his sixth collection of poems.
