| Winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, and New York Times bestselling author Nikki Grimes introduces Glory, Too, a soul-stirring collection of poetry that delves into the depths of faith, hope, and the human experience by one of America's preeminent black poets. In a marriage of poetry, faith, and worship, Ms. Grimes' poems illuminate the Scriptures that grace every Sunday of the year. Her inimitable voice and imagination offer glimpses of glory we might not otherwise see, throughout the seasons of the year. With lyrical precision and spiritual insight, she invites readers on a journey of reflection, weaving together themes of grace, redemption, and the enduring power of God's love throughout the year. As the companion volume to her previous book Glory in the Margins: Sunday Poems, Glory, Too resonates with authenticity and depth, giving testimony to the transformative power of poetry and the enduring hope found in the embrace of God's eternal grace. High Style Louboutin stilettos are recognizable at a distance. Those shiny red soles tell you everything. When Gucci handbags are in a room, they virtually shout. Now, I'm not much for labels, but I've noticed how God's garments stand out. Take the suit, a second skin made of holiness—a rare fabric, that usually itches, at first until the wearer gets used to it; Beyond that, God's personal style is all about the layered look: the silk of compassion, golden threads of kindness woven through the vest, humility cinching in the waist, meekness and patience falling to the ankles, and love thickly draped across the shoulders. The clothing God designs is never mistaken for anyone's but his. And when we're wise enough to don his attire, we look like more than a million. |
