"As she was just beginning to enjoy life as an empty nester, Leslie was struck with a double cancer diagnosis and began an arduous three-year journey in the shadow of Death. While undergoing treatment meant to extend life, she could no longer teach or produce theater, so she turned her attention toward creative writing. Her imagination burst into life, beckoning all those around to follow her "further up and further in." This collection is a magpie's nest of reflections on art, faith, literature, community, caregiving, and mortality. Her essays, poems, and miscellaneous musings show us how one follower of Jesus lived life to the glory of God by adding to the Beauty in the world around her"--

What is the relationship between the Creator and His subcreators?

He makes that appeal through the parables of the kingdom, the paradoxes of the gospel, the enigmatic and beautiful signs he gave in his miracles and in those moments when the heavens open and the ordinary is transfigured, seen in an utterly new light. In this book Guite revisits and expands on the insights he gave in his Laing Lectures at Regent College, exploring how the creative work of poets and other artists can lift the veil a little and kindle our imaginations for Christ.
