Divine: Poems, Meditations, and Prayers

A. Guillemot

Divine is not one book, but three. It opens with "Free Spirit," a book of poetry inspired by the Nordic spiritual writers of the twentieth century. The poems are clear and direct, and invite the reader into the heart of a religious metamorphosis. The second book, "Pilgrimage," is a collection of prose texts conceived on a solitary, month-long journey on the St. Olav's Way, which captures in words the wind in the empty wilderness; the intense silence of those summer nights. A series of prayers for the vulnerable make up the final book in this volume. Taken together, Divine is a deeply personal account of that which is the most personal of all, and yet unites us: of the paradoxes, hardships, blessings, and revelations that come together in the search for faith, and in the search for what it means to be a human being.

About the Author

Guillemot, A.: - A. Guillemot lost his childhood faith at a young age, and ten years passed before he could again say that he believed in God. His journey took him from the streets of London to the heights of the Norwegian mountains, where, at last, he found the source of faith within himself again.

Praise for this book

"It has been my privilege to accompany A. Guillemot at one or two staging posts on the journey that shapes the writings of this book. We find in them his deeply authentic testament to the realities such a journey entails: the abandonment of old selves and familiar ways of thinking, the confrontation with darkness and chaos, the overwhelming and redeeming power of light, the pain and joy of new beginnings, and the powerful call to love and compassion in our engagement with the world and its people."
--John Moffatt, SJ, from the Foreword

"I stayed up all night with this book of longing and am glad I did. Reading it, a calm descended upon me, a mark of its authenticity. There's much beauty between its covers."
--Yahia Lababidi, writer, poet, and aphorist
