In this spiritually rich and emotionally honest collection, Paul Coulter invites readers on a poetic pilgrimage – from lament to longing, confession to hope, gratitude to glory. These are not primarily poems for performance – they are poems for prayer. They speak with theological depth and poetic clarity, shaped by a heart that has wrestled with God and found Him faithful.

Whether you are grieving, questioning, rejoicing, or simply longing to see more clearly, this book offers a companion for the journey. Each verse is a step toward healing. Each section a season of the soul. And through it all, the whisper of grace calls you home.
