And This is What He Said
By Robert K. Moorhead
Order this Book
|  |
If you would like to have the essence of the New Testament distilled into less than 50 pages of pure poetic power, look no further than Robert K. Moorhead’s new book, And This is What He Said. The words “He said” come directly from the four Gospels, but Mr. Moorhead’s imaginative settings make the reader hear those words as if we’re hearing them for the first time. In doing so, he becomes our mentor, our new eyes and ears.
Mr. Moorhead makes sudden, startling creative leaps:
Mary bit her lip as she watched
The body of Jesus
Being lowered from the cross.
She had no more tears left to shed.
The ache in her heart
Left her entire body numb.
Her thoughts drifted back to the time
She and Joseph took the Infant Jesus
To the Temple in Jerusalem
For the Purfication ceremony.
Just inside the Temple gate
There was a kindly old man named Simeon.
He asked if he might hold the baby
And his face beamed when Mary
Placed the infant in his arms.
Publisher Tom Costello wrote about Mr. Moorhead’s first book, In the Beginning, that his “poems reveal a deep religious faith, but you don’t have to ask what they are ‘about’ and you don’t have to ask what they ‘mean.’ You just enjoy them.”
