description: Christian Book Award Finalist But God speaks through wombsbirthing prophetic utterances. . . .Enough of this unbelieving religionthat masquerades as faith.Divine favor is placed on what wehave disgraced. In God Speaks Through Wombs  Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a new poetic register. These are declarative poems faithfully proclaiming the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the fresh words / that speak of / things impossible. From the Magnificat (That girl can sing! . . . She has a voice / That can shatter shackles) to the baptism of Christ (I stepped in / Committing insurrection) this collection helps us hear the hum of deliveranceagainst all hopethat's been in the gospel all along.
