In Wrestling with the Angel, Jennifer M. Phillips invites readers on their own spiritual journeys of exploration, whether inside or outside the bounds of formal religion. She urges each to investigate bravely the delights, pains, and mysteries of life in this passing-away world full of hints and signals of larger meaning. These poems refuse to look away from doubt, death, and disappointment or to accept easy answers; instead, they peer under and through these universal experiences, scanning for traces of mercy, hope, tenderness, and joy. They ponder: What if God is like Scheherazade, spinning a Self-revealing story day after day to keep the door of relationship ajar? What if the essential human task is listening with reverent attention?
