Who wouldn't long to converse with God if it were possible? Regardless of your spiritual persuasion, God Calling in Poetry is an easy read to help you discover that you can connect with God daily, irrespective of culture or creed. The original God Calling is a hundred-year-old bestselling book by two British women, one of whom claimed that God communicated with her directly. The Two Listeners, as they are known, published their devotional anonymously, touching over ten million readers today. In every nation, people call upon their Maker; the humble and sincere get a glimpse, often more. In France, people greet each other at Easter with “L'amour de Dieu est folie" (“The love of God is madness”), apt because only understanding the love of God fills us with a longing to know Him. But we cannot know Him if he doesn't communicate with us. Love not communicated cannot be understood. The scriptures prove that He communicates uniquely to every individual. Some people listen, but most of us don't. This book is a poet's pilgrimage for anyone interested in embarking on life's most remarkable journey - finding God. God's known will is clear in His Word; we need to spend time with Him to discover His unknown will. God Calling in Poetry shows you how He speaks to us, one day at a time! Can you set aside a quiet time with Him to meditate and converse? It's an invitation to join Him in an extraordinary adventure!
Frank's poems are sincere and straightforward, and a line from one captures the essence for me: 'I am weary of a world divided as Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews.' That Frank considers the adherents of all religions to be equally in search of Truth (satyam, nityam, and anantham, in Upanishadic texts) is amply evident. I admire his bhakti and shraddha and say this with the highest respect.
Frank Raj's poetry reflects the dignity and grace of his fascinating spiritual journey. Simple and direct, the verses resound with sheer power as they question age-old ideas and beliefs with extraordinary vision and insight.
Frank takes us on a journey as he peels the spiritual away from the ritual, forcing the reader to focus on the essence of faith. His style of poetry is gentle, and without realizing it, his journey becomes ours. A Spiritual Traveler is a must-read for anyone trying to get beyond the superficial practice of faith that focuses on tribalism and division.
Frank beautifully crafts a spiritual journey in poetry so inspirational he gets you to think and reconsider your own. You read a poem, then reread it, as every verse is independently fascinating, even as it links to another verse. His book engages you in a personal, soul-binding experience reliving one's spiritual journey and seeing it unfold.
