The haiku poems of this book tell the narrative of the Last Supper, passion, death, resurrection, ascension, and Great Commission of the Gospels, evoking the essence of these momentous events. The distilled style of emotions embedded in the poems may awaken the reader to transcend time and space and experience these events through eyes they have never known.
How can we even begin to understand the doctrines of Christianity derived from the Last Supper, passion, death, resurrection, ascension, and Great Commission of the Gospels without singing, and singing fully, with the knowing and unknowing that resides within our hearts, minds, and souls? You will hear the songs of Jesus, Judas, Mary, Thomas, the archangels, Satan, and a seeker of the divine mystery. It is hoped that you will join this choir of past, present, and future, and sing as you have never been.
