Whether you love poetry or haven't read it since school, The Splash of Words will help you rediscover poetry's power to startle, challenge and reframe your vision. Through thirty selected poems, Mark Oakley explores poetry's power to stir our settled ways of viewing the world and faith, shift our perceptions and even transform who we are.

Mark Oakley is one of the church's most outstanding communicators. In this series of fifty beautifully crafted reflections, with characteristic wit, he traverses the landscape of the Christian year. His writing is shaped by a sense that language is sacramental, with a poet's gift of opening up new worlds and new possibilities simply through words.

The Collage of God is for all who find it difficult to reconcile the realities of life with comfortable notions about faith. Following his experiences with suffering as a hospital chaplain, Mark Oakley reconstructs faith as a collage of traditions, texts, and experiences of living, imagination, silence and prayer. A contemporary spiritual classic.
