God improves in acquaintance', said the nun to the young woman, who'd asked for money and got rather more than she bargained for. 'It's all a matter of keeping God company.' This captivating idea is explored in a refreshing and diverse collection of stories. By turns serious, sensuous, fun and disquieting, the pieces - in verse and prose - do not shy away from the tensions that are bound to surface in any deepening relationship. We meet a Moses who is furiously disappointed in God. We see a God who is crucified by our lack of forgiveness. More often, we are given glimpses of God's tenderness, God's protection of us, God's belief in our worth. 'God needs our companionship,' says the nun. Trevor Dennis's disarming portrayal of a God who longs for and delights in our love can only deepen our desire to respond.
