My Sour-Sweet Days
Mark Oakley reveals George Herbert as a fine companion with whom to examine the journey of the soul. There is too an appealing and audacious playfulness about Herbert: he seems to take God on, knowing God will win, confident God will not abandon him. His poems are 'heart-work and heaven-work', embracing love and closeness, anger and despair, reconciliation and hope.
'My Sour-Sweet Days contains forty well-chosen poems by George Herbert (widely considered the greatest devotional poet in the English language), each of which is followed by a short but profound reflection by Mark Oakley. This sense of relationship with God as primarily friendship is one of many intriguing and healing aspects we are invited to consider. The combination is excellent: richly expressive poems and accessible personal meditations.
This book powerfully demonstrates how poetry can bring comfort,
