In the poetic meditations of Spirit Hovering, Nancy Arbuthnot considers how the most mundane things of our lives can lead to deepened spiritual reflection and renewed spiritual life. Inspired by Biblical passages and utilizing a variety of voices-a father offering fresh-baked bread to his son, a daughter massaging the feet of her elderly mother, a wounded soldier comforting his mother, a young boy contemplating suicide-these poems reveal how the Word can speak to us today, help us move through our sufferings and celebrate our joys.
