Poet and songwriter Marcus Hummon presents familiar gospel characters in a new way. Using haiku, or as he calls it a poverty of language, Hummon reveals the innermost feelings and struggles of the principal players of his Christian faith. Hummon's poetic meditations are complemented by the photography of Joshua Timm. Powerful images of homelessness and poverty erase the centuries between Jesus' life and ours, and inspire new reflection on the Christian faith and social justice. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be offered to further the ministry of Magdalene, a long-term residential and recovery program for women with a history of drug abuse and prostitution. It is testimony to the fact that love can overcome estrangement.
