Recommended Reading Christmas Gifts Day #2 (that is, in addition to Ray Keating’s Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers and mysteries, and other books! 
) – It’s shameful for a writer to admit, but I’ve never been a big poetry guy. When I mention this to my son (and future pastor), he usually responds, “And what about the Psalms?” And I answer, “Touché” – and usually leave it at that. But then along comes Mary J. Moerbe with her book Ecclesial Poetry – Volume I: Introduction, and I must acknowledge still more. She offers an assortment of beautiful, faith-rich poems. They illuminate, provoke thought and would serve nicely as part of one’s daily devotions.
