In this unique collection, he pairs his own work with spiritual words of wisdom from his pastor and friend Hal M. Helms. Every page is an opportunity to enter into a moment of quiet, to rest, and to ponder the possibilities for peace and joy that surround us.

“There is a world to come that will be beautiful beyond all our imagining,” Ford says. “I believe that with all my being. But I also believe this worldwhere we are right nowis full of what should fill us with wonder of God, who is Beauty itself. I wish you peace in the morning.”

Holy Sparks is a collection of poems grounded in a belief in the kinship between the cosmos and its Creator. Biophilic imagery is used throughout the poems to suggest that reverence for the earth is a natural consequence of reverence for God. The language of poetry is used to interconnect the human, natural and sacred, and to express humanitys moral and ethical responsibility to our nonhuman kin. These poems question what it means for humans to live in right relationship with earths lifesystems, and they suggest that our very identity is tied to our reverence for the natural world. They offer a space of confession, reparation and praise of what remains. Holy Sparks is a call to partake of Earths wisdom so that we might participate in the Creators ongoing work.
