Perishable

In its assembled whole, ( Perishable ) seeks to illume the enigmatic yet hospitable divinity of Jesus Christ as he engages with us in our flesh. From the piled up roots of loss, rejection, and sin, this chronicle explores themes of renewal, connection, and awe. Each curated piece fine-draws itself to the next, pulling the reader through a place of holy awareness, rhythm, and love. It is the author’s hope that those who are seeking something of the divine might consider the person of Jesus Christ, for he is King.
