The story of Jesus's life and the stories he told to teach people how to live--what could be more important? These poems seek to make the gospel fresh and to remind readers of how shocking, how radical it was when God showed up in the world. Even the humorous ones may challenge one's current view of the gospel.

Reviews for Jesus Poems

"""In Bill Ayres's marvelous collection, Jesus Poems, the poet rewards our sensibilities with an Emmanuel of daily speech. We exult in God's proximity, while we tremble before him. Either way, there is deep holiness in this quotidian yet intensely lyrical portrait of the Son of Man! 'It is God I feel rasp against my tongue, ' we read and are compelled to read further, for we know that such closeness is bound to yield more intimacy, far more."" --Sofia M. Starnes, Virginia Poet Laureate emerita ""Bill Ayres is a consummate poet whose work here marries the reality of life with the often-otherworldly divinity of Jesus. Ground yourselves in his reflections and watch your faith begin to sprout anew. What a joy to read these poems! Imaginative. Creative. Faithful, but not removed from the world we live in."" --Garrett Bugg, senior pastor, Wycliffe Presbyterian Church ""Where is God? What is holiness? Who was Jesus? Bill Ayres's Jesus Poems redefines and reboots those questions with a startling collection that takes the familiar parables, prayers, and reflections to a fresh place filled with unheard voices and challenges. This is the Barbie movie of poems about faith--each page unexpected, yet true."" --Michael Jon Khandelwal, executive director, The Muse Writers Center"
