It is for anyone looking to meditate deeply on the Gospels. Jacksons unique approach, along with his heart for Gods Word, makes this collection an instant classic, a true gift to the church." -- Rachel Joy Welcher, editor at Fathom Magazine and author of Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality"If poetry is the art of the indirect, the undefended doorway into deeper consciousness, then Drew Jackson is a wonderful new teacher on the scene! Seldom have I read such direct insight into spiritual moments and spiritual matters . . . . I am already eager to see and hear more!" -- Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation"With undeniable depth and brilliant creativity, Drew Jackson offers a powerful poetic tour through the Gospel of Luke. Drew joins poignant cultural analysis with biblical faithfulness, and does so in a way that kept me captivated throughout. This book is a gift, offering us a fresh vision of the gospel story with profound flow." -- Rich Villodas, lead pastor of New Life Fellowship and author of The Deeply Formed Life"God Speaks Through Wombs is a fresh take on the first eight chapters of the Gospel of Luke and a poetic invitation into the world of the Scriptures. What we read here is not translation, but rather more. We are transported into the ministry of Jesus and beckoned to walk alongside him with the oppressed he came to save. Jacksons poetry brings to light the fact that Christs ministry is, in many ways, an affirmation of human dignity in general and of Black dignity specifically. This Savior is very much for you, not against you." -- Malcolm B. Foley, director of the Black Church Studies Program at Truett Seminary"This book of poetry offers a beautifully nuanced perspective on themes of oppression, of liberation, of suffering, of hope for what has been promised. Drew weaves together biblical experiences with the language and perspectives of modern activists. His poetry allows us to experience the voice of God through words on the page. I will be using these poems for creative inspiration, as prayer, as a liturgy for all the things that are difficult to speak about in a dark and difficult world. This collection will offer you great solace, speaking life into your spirit." -- Nikole Lim, founder and international director of Freely in Hope and author of Liberation Is Here"Ive known Drew for over a decade, and this book bears witness to his soul: a careful listener, passionate conversation partner, bold truth teller, and tenderhearted empath. Drew has always been an artist, crafty with words and sounds. God Speaks Through Wombs reflects Drews soulful artistry. Through his poetic genius, Drew effortlessly weaves together the ancient stories of the Gospel of Luke with social movement history, popular culture, contemporary justice issues, theological rigor, and more. Every pastor, theologian, faith-rooted activist, and person of faith who cares about the intersection of faith and justice needs this book. You wont be able to preach, teach, pray, sing, or question the Gospel of Luke the same!" -- Brandon Wrencher, organizer, writer, and founding pastor of the Good Neighbor Movement"In a time like this, we need divine creativity, and the words Drew has written are just that. . . . His words are powerful, and his creative process is filled with mysterious and divine wonder." -- Jon Batiste, Stay Human, and bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, from the foreword Long Description But God speaks through wombs,birthing prophetic utterances. . . .Enough of this unbelieving religion that masquerades as faith.Divine favor is placed on what wehave disgraced.In God Speaks Through Wombs, Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Lukes Gospel in a new poetic register.
