the Chord of Spirit

A Christian poetry collection about grace, justice, and the God who redeems the irredeemable.Poet Hime Vinarao didn't write these poems in a quiet study. She wrote them after sitting with incarcerated women through prison ministry, after watching true crime documentaries and bringing her grief straight to God, after wrestling hard with questions of capital punishment, mercy, and what it means to be truly pro-life.The Chord of the Spirit is a devotional poetry collection that confronts the tension between sin and grace, guilt and redemption, righteous anger and radical forgiveness - and finds Christ at the center of all of it.Inside this poetry book: - Raw, Scripture-rooted poems on justice, mercy, and intercession- Reflections on incarceration, the death penalty, and the value of every human life- A guided Listen & Write section to help readers write their own faith poetry- Three movements - For You, With You, In You - taking readers from lament to revivalThis book is for you if you: - Struggle to reconcile a loving God with a broken world- Can't forgive someone who has deeply hurt you- Are wrestling with grief, bitterness, or unanswered anger- Feel torn between justice and forgiveness- Believe revival starts with loving our enemiesThe Chord of the Spirit is a debut collection for the wounded, the wondering, and anyone brave enough to believe that even the most broken chains can be loosed.
