Publisher's Synopsis
Romancing God: The Divine Love Affair, is a poetic epistolary series that embodies the spirit of the biblical poets. If you have read Job, Psalms, Proverbs, or Ecclesiastes, you know that these open diaries express the transparency of the human heart to God. Like Job, David and Solomon, author, DORIS WELLINGTON documents her spiritual contemplations during some of the most difficult times in her life. What started as a one-day muse evolved into years of putting to paper the soul of a journey that has helped to balance a life often fractured by the harsh realities of the world. Romancing God is the human heart lifted up to a divine God, and God pulling it up to caress and console, instruct and guide, heal and liberate, and to confirm through words that when the heart believes it can be the recipient of miracles that some dismiss as unobtainable. In the form of a true master, the author pulls her audience into her literal and figurative world to illuminate that the relentless pursuit of divine purpose, power and peace is more often than not paved with intense suffering and extraordinary challenges, and that for most; though the fruit is a desired outcome, the journey of fire is declined.
Romancing God: The Divine Love Affair does not propose any particular construct upon which these visitations are built, received or understood; they are neither patterns to be followed nor biblical doctrines or spiritual principles to espouse; they are purely the expressions of the heart in my personal relationship with God. For me, Romancing God tucks me into the warm trusting embrace of God's love and allows me to be authentic in worship.
