Bøker av Peter Keese

Rich, complex, exciting, confusing, life, death, and beyond--all words to capture a bit of truth about this very rich, complex world inhabited by all kinds of individual particles emerging into flora, fauna, animals of all kinds, including humans who together make up a unity. This book is my attempt to celebrate the unity and the diversity. Poetry hints of an openness to complexity while certainty tends to become restrictive dogma. Other Ways means to hint that full meaning, complete certainty, is beyond any human capacity ever to establish. Poetry intends to celebrate the richness that is to be enjoyed even though never fully comprehended.

Contrary to what many church people (particularly church "professionals") say, God does not dwell in church, and church doesn't have the franchise on good news. Instead, author Peter Keese proposes the optimistic view that good news is much larger and more all-encompassing than any church can contain or convey, and that good news is everywhere to be found and experienced. In this imaginary dialogue between a traditionalist and his protagonist for a god-in-the-world perspective, Keese's sermons illustrate his conviction that God is out there, inviting us to join in and enjoy the riches of God's life and work. Indeed, as Keese writes, "Jesus has left the building--with all its strictures--and beckons us to come along where life in all its chaotic glory is to be experienced--and enjoyed!"
