Propelled into Wonder is the captivating debut poetry collection from British poet-priest Matthew White. The poems that inhabit this book are the produce of a life permeated by a myriad of hopes and heartache and demand to be felt as well as read. Featuring reflections on faith, doubt, love, beauty, leadership and loss, these poems are sure to inspire, provoke, amuse and disturb. Complete with beautiful hand-drawn illustrations, Propelled into Wonder is an invitation to pay attention, to undress the soul, and to exhale. In these pages, Matthew White offers psalms for today that have been forged in the excoriating furnace of surrender. This book is offered as raw testimony to the unrelenting advances of grace and that great redeeming light which waltzes our shadows into splendor.
