There is a story of two "smart" Yankees, one named Hosea and the other Hezekiah, who met in an oyster shop in Boston. Said Hosea, "As to opening oysters, why nothing's easier if you only know how." "And how's how?" asked Hezekiah. "Scotch snuff," replied Hosea, very gravely-"Scotch snuff. Bring a little of it ever so near their noses, and they'll sneeze their lids off." "I know a man who knows a better plan," observed Hezekiah. "He spreads the bivalves in a circle, seats himself in the centre, reads a chapter of Artemus Ward to them, and goes on until they get interested. One by one they gape with astonishment at A. Ward's whoppers, and as they gape my friend whips 'em out, peppers away, and swallows 'em."

Feeling the Silence

Men need encouragement to know it is okay to be open and vulnerable to the intimate relationship God is calling all of us to experience. This collection of poems, psalms even, affirms for men in particular, and all of us in general, that weakness, brokenness, love, elation, and joy are all valid states of being and are meant to be shared. Every cultural revolution begins with first steps. Certainly, this collection is not the first step in creating a culture that embraces men's needs for intimacy, but it is a step. It's a hopeful step that will lead more men toward intimacy with God and, through that journey, bring more peace, love, kindness, tenderness, mercy, and justice to our world.
