Brighter and Brighter Until the Perfect Day

Sharlee Mullins Glenn

4.9/5 (31331 ratings)

Description:In soaring blank verse, Brighter and Brighter until the Perfect Day reimagines the entire scope of existence from premortal life through the creation, the fall, mortality, the Atonement, and beyond. This gorgeous epic poem blends theology (including the Latter-day Saint doctrine of a Heavenly Mother), science, and imagination in a way that is thoroughly engaging, elegant, and provocative.Referring to Orson F. Whitney's prediction that Latter-day Saints would "yet have Miltons and Shakespeares of our own," scholar and writer Michael Austin writes that "the wait may well be over. Sharlee Mulllins Glenn, with her remarkable new epic, comes closer than any poet ever has to being a Milton of our own."*“This breathtaking epic poem creates an exhilarating spaciousness for imagining what could be. Sharlee Mullins Glenn’s vision speaks to a deep heart-knowing—gently healing the ache of Mother God’s quiet absence and restoring the sense of her intimate and infinite love at work in our lives.”~ Aubrey Chaves, co-host of the Faith Matters podcast.“Sharlee Mullins Glenn’s epic poem Brighter and Brighter is a masterpiece—epic in all the senses of the word. Glenn uses the poetic form with skill and adroit beauty—and the work opens new possibilities for theology. One thing I feel pretty certain about is that this will become a classic of poetic theological narrative. In my mind, it already is.”~ Steven L. Peck, biologist, poet, novelist; author of A Short Stay in Hell, Evolving Faith, Heike’s Void“A beautiful invitation to see something very old in a very new way. This story invites us into new layers of thought, of words, of completion. Bringing the Mother back into the Motherless House of this world is a powerful contribution. Thank you, Sharlee, for accepting the call to be a visionary.”~ Carol Lynn Pearson, author of Finding Mother God and Mother Wove the Morning.“Sharlee Mullins Glenn approaches God with the offering of her own religious imagination. In the rhythmic flow of poetry, she finds a space to search for her foremothers. We may not have answers to Sharlee's questions, but she gives us the gift of a holy wonder about how things might have been—and in questions of faith, sometimes that wonder is enough.”~ James Goldberg, author of Let Me Drown with Moses and Tales of the Chelm First Ward“Sharlee Mullins Glenn’s epic poem is an ambitious and beautiful rendering of Latter-day Saint beliefs and yearnings regarding the feminine divine, the ethos of existence, and the centrality of agency, relationships, and love.”~ Fiona Givens, co-author of The God Who Weeps, The Crucible of Doubt, The Christ Who Heals, and All Things NewWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
