Blessed Fall: Poems of Lament and Hope

Inspired by his own dark night of the soul, Justin Coutts shares his reflections on Christian mysticism, the kenosis of death and resurrection, and growth in virtue through suffering. This book is a gift to anyone who feels stuck in darkness but is searching for the light. A series of original poems, interspersed with passages from scripture, provides an experience which is as much a form of meditation as it is a work of theological reflection. Drawing from ancient sources often forgotten in the west, this booklet explores symbolic interpretations of the Eden story and Jesus as a wisdom teacher. Concluding with a short collection of contemplative chants, this book will also be of interest to spiritual practitioners and leaders of sacred music.
