Seven Whole Days by Malcolm Guite

Seven Whole Days by Malcolm Guite

Artist Faye Hall has taken Malcolm Guite's Poetic sequence Seven Whole Days and turned it into a sumptuous visual celebration of God's good Creation. Guite's sequence of seven poems each celebrate a day of creation and finally the sabbath day of rest. Hall has taken the poems and re-imagined them line by line in a series of beautiful meditations on how God's glory shines out in the world. This is a book you can share with your children, use for your own private prayer or share in a wider circle, a book to which you will return time and time again to find new depth and detail.
