Little Girls In Church

by Kathleen Norris

Book Overview

Although Kathleen Norris's best-selling Dakota: A Spiritual Geography has brought her to the attention of many thousands of readers, she is first and last a poet. Like Robert Frost, another poet identified with a particular landscape, she can reveal the miraculous in the ordinary, and she writes with clarity, humor, and deep sympathy for her subjects.

Poems that point to God everywhere - even unlikely places

Kathleen Norris has captured those moments when the questions and the search come into contact with the Living God in unlikely and serindipitous ways. "Imperatives" is succinct, glorious and the essence of Christian belief.Her theology is pure, concise and completely without "party line" interference. "Lovers with Pizza" and "She Said Yeah" among others validate those "God moments" which are profound and true, but don't quite seem to fit with what we've learned in church.
