A wonderful work combining a deeply spiritual collection of scripture texts, reflective poetry, and a distinct style of art.  Open this book to discover over twenty canticles, beginning with Exodus and traveling biblically through the New Testament from the Gospel of Luke to Revelations.  Each hymn text is followed by a reflection written in poetic form by theologian and master storyteller John Shea.  These intuitive poems will touch readers deeply, allowing a personal reflection on one's relationship with God.  G.E. Mullan adds his signature touch with unique and beautiful artwork that directly relates to each canticle.  A fantastic book for anyone who finds fulfillment in music and poetry and appreciates the power of scripture.

In "Canticle: Biblical Songs Illuminated", the inspired poetry of the Bible as presented by John Shea is enhanced with memorable and original artwork of G.E. Mullan.  The result is a blending of word and image in the form of twenty superbly crafted canticles that are as thoughtful and thought-provoking as they are inspired and inspiring.  Perfect for browsing and ideal for gift-giving, "Canticle" would be a prized addition for any personal, family, church, or community library collection.
