It has been said that a psalm is a singing back to the Divine. Cup My Days Like Water is an offering of seventy-five poems--or psalms--rooted in the ancient biblical psalms. Borrowing from the raw honesty, radiant confidence, and unashamed lament of the biblical psalms, this sequence of devotional poems traces one person's grappling with the themes of nature, illness, justice, beauty, suffering, the character of God, and the pilgrim life. Together, these poems probe the elegant and harsh realities of this world and explore what it means to forge a path of faith in light of those realities. Cup My Days Like Water tenders a new ancient way to pray that can help us navigate our disenchanted world with a tested hope.
