Accumulated Lessons in Displacement

Poems

Beschreibung

This collection takes the reader on a nomadic journey around the globe and into the more mysterious realms of the heart and spirit. These poems explore the joys to be found even in suffering, the resilient dignity at the heart of each human being, and the "thin places" where heaven and earth seem to meet. Based on her experiences as a "perpetual pilgrim," the poet remembers the scents of her hometown in the Himalayas, the spicy tastes of a farm meal in China, a walk with a refugee friend in Sarajevo, and a Muslim gardener wetting his lips from a hose on a hot day during Ramadan. In all this, she probes deeper questions about the telos of life as a created being and how to carry on in life and faith in the midst of unexplainable suffering. In entering into these poems, the reader is invited to draw sustaining strength from moments of beauty and divine grace.

Autor

Rev. Dr. Yaron I. Kohen is a missionary, pastor, biblical counselor, teacher, and theologian devoted to proclaiming the sufficiency of Christ and the transformative power of God's Word. As the Founder and President of Grace Ministries for Christ, he has ministered across the United States and internationally-preaching, teaching, counseling, and discipling with Spirit-led conviction and compassionate pastoral care. With nearly 30 years of ministry experience, Dr. Kohen brings a unique voice to the field of pastoral counseling by integrating biblical exposition with practical theology for spiritual formation. He holds a Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling and an M.Div. in Biblical Studies from Liberty University, and is currently completing a Ph.D. in Bible Exposition, also at Liberty. His doctoral research birthed Proactive Pastoral Counseling: An Intrapersonal Approach for Cultivating Christian Formation-a theologically rich, biblically grounded model of care that moves beyond behavior modification to target the intrapersonal realm where spiritual battles are fought and sanctification takes place. Dr. Kohen is the developer of the Christian Intrapersonal Formation (CIF) model, which emphasizes transformation through biblical thinking, Spirit-empowered renewal, and obedience to Christ as central to the believer's growth in grace. His approach challenges secular therapeutic models by restoring biblical counseling to its rightful place within the shepherding ministry of the Church-calling believers to daily surrender, godly discernment, and inner renewal through Scripture. Whether serving in local churches, on the mission field, or in the counseling room, Dr. Kohen remains committed to equipping the saints for the work of ministry (Eph. 4:12) by anchoring their identity, healing, and hope in Christ alone.
