Few poets offer readers an unalloyed Christian perspective, and it is to Hazel Smith's eternal credit that faith - stated in the clear language of modern prayer and the Scriptures - informs all of these devotional works in poetry and prose.In the beauty of an Austrian mountain village and the sweep of a bay in Ireland, and especially in the ecstasy of worship, the poet sees the hand of the Creator - the 'healing presence'- in our lives.Making sense of the setbacks of modern living - sickness, floods, disasters and the loss of friends - is not an easy task without the help of a religion that takes a 'longer view'. Hazel Smith untangles the confusion we all feel in our daily lives, and exhorts us to give praise and thanksgiving. After all, most of us have plenty to be thankful for, including this heart-warming and uplifting collection.
