Christ Leon Breaux

This volume, Christ, divides into four sections: Christ, Nature, Monkeyshines, and Christ Two. The poems serve as expressions of the poet's profound and humble acceptance of Christ. Many of them consist of direct appeals to and questions for God. Christ lives eternally outside of us, and we must allow Him within. Through this relationship we may seek His peace and increase our love and undertstanding . From initial acceptance in abject humility (Christ), to the application of new thinking to the natural world and processes (Nature), to the realization of humankind's foolishness (Moneyshines), to an improved and better relationship (Christ Two), these poems evidence a journey of the sacred heart.
