Publisher's Synopsis
Vision of the Light presents a creative nonfiction narrative that explores deep existential questions and encourages you to seek the truth of the biblical scriptures, finding answers before the presence of the glory of God in an intimate way.
This book is deemed as a "... collection of Christian meditations," and " ...a compelling read" by Kirkus Review!
These verses merge themes of philosophy, science, and theology into a cohesive spirit of worship that expresses the truth of God's purpose for humanity. The goal of this effort is to create a cohesive concept to explain life and its existence, its meaning and logic - to be able to fulfill the endless inquiry of reason and will within the bounds of our human condition. Immersing our entire beings and senses, this book encourages the reader to pursue the higher dimension of the kingdom of God, and yearn to experience God's divine goodness, providence, and glory through the study of his logic and creation.
This collection goes through the birth of Creation and knowing God, man coming to the void and finding meaning through the Gospel, and the believer learning to abide in God's presence by surrendering to the will of God and standing firm in faith in all circumstances. It dwells on the joys of coming to know intimately the love of God as one matures in the faith, the experience of the believer coming into a calling, and it speaks into the rising of the collective call God has for the church to inspire our generation of believers to stand firm in the calling.
The 2023 Kirkus Review states, "Archibold strikes a straightforward, empathetic tone throughout, assuring her readers that her book is divinely inspired by a call to simple obedience: "Relinquish yourself to me," God commands, "for I am always to sustain you, provide for you, and protect you."
We eagerly look forward to releasing an album that includes six poems from this poetry collection that were adapted into songs by composer and vocalist, Michael Richardson. These songs are, at their core, anchor hymns that we see coming into the congregational worship setting. Also, this book will be released with a companion prompt journal for reflection and devotional journaling that has wonderful quotes as prompts that are sure to stir and inspire you. The book will also be available as an ebook and an audiobook. A Spanish translation of this collection will also be released. Stay tuned! www.zionsprouts.com
