“Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?” —Mary Oliver

This luminous anthology brings together great poets from around the world whose work transcends culture and time. Their words reach past the outer divisions to the universal currents of love and revelation that move and inspire us all. These poems urge us to wake up and love. They also call on us to relinquish our grip on ideas and opinions that confine us and, instead, to risk moving forward into the life that is truly ours.

In his selection, Roger Housden has placed strong emphasis on contemporary voices such as the American poet laureate Billy Collins and the Nobel Prize–winners Czeslaw Milosz and Seamus Heaney, but the collection also includes some timeless echoes of the past in the form of work by masters such as Goethe, Wordsworth, and Emily Dickinson.

The tens of thousands of readers of Roger Housden’s “Ten Poems” series will welcome this beautiful harvest of poems that both open the mind and heal the heart..

What would it be like to belong somewhere you could risk being known and still feel accepted?

Imagine belonging–really belonging–to a special family. Imagine living in a safe place where you can risk being known and still feel accepted…where people have a vision for who you can be, and are willing to walk with you to realize that vision.

What if you discovered not only that such a place exists, but also that the power to see this vision become reality is already in your possession? What if you realized that this place is the church?

It can happen. Unfortunately, in our time church has been pushed aside to a shelf marked “unimportant” or “irrelevant.” We may squeeze attending services into our packed schedules, but we never really seem to experience church.

In Risking Church, Jim Kallam–a pastor with a heart for God’s people and a vision for God’s plan–walks with you on a journey of discovery. It’s a journey that will break the stereotypical view of church, release a new way of thinking, and show how you can participate in creating an atmosphere where God’s people can stir each other to love more deeply and live more fully.

Take the risk. And begin experiencing the life-giving, life-sharing, life-revealing community called church..
