John Berger once said We only see what we look at. To look is an act of choice. And Miles Davis quipped: Don't play what's there, play what's not there. What we have in Christopher Soden's wonder filled Tempting God is, as the title suggests, an intense questioning of the everyday we live and also the invisible mystery behind it. The struggle is one of identity and relationships, and often one seems like a thrush caught blindly / banging in an endless black flue. Counterpointing intimacy and memory, this masterful book forges a solution in moments of intersection, {where} the earth / was a glad and remarkable / home, swaddling me / in the promise of miracles / within reach. It is the God within us that Christopher comes to realize, and that the temptation is to create and preserve one's identity-something we can all learn from this book.
