The Appalachian Archive by Robert Morrison Randolph Hardcover Book

The Nile on eBay   The Appalachian Archive by Robert Morrison Randolph

This is a Christian mystic's archive of writings about feeling God's abiding presence and love in all things, even in the poet himself, but also feeling pain and loneliness because human finitude prohibits knowing God fully. He cannot wholly know the God he wholly loves. Finally the poet comes to feel in the natural world God reaching out to the poet personally, which brings hope and peace.

Review

"In The Appalachian Archive, Randolph evokes the biblical book of Psalms with his expressions of spiritual longing. The human quest for love, for fulfillment, and for relationship with the divine is on full display in his carefully drawn images and heartfelt petitions. . . . To read this work is to enter prayerfully into 'the depths' with hope and faith (Ps 130:1)."--Jerome F. D. Creach, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"This spiritual map of the ineffable in the nearby will guide seekers and thinkers, doubters and singers of all sorts. From 'the hollows of my bones, ' Appalachian poet Randolph yearns to 'speak God's name in the marrow' and invite us into 'secret rain that enlivens our hearts.' Walk with this poet through The Appalachian Archive and find that our 'strange jar made of mortality' is 'filled with forever.'"--Gilson A.C. Waldkoenig, United Lutheran Seminary
