Kairos

Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). It is the time when God acts. This book is an invitation to enter the space and time when God lives among us. Humanity has wrestled with questions about God throughout its history. Who am I? Who is Jesus, and why does it matter? Does He really care about my life here and now? Where is God in the midst of suffering? Can He really be trusted? The deep global trauma of the last few years has caused more people to struggle with these questions and others like them.

As a spiritual director, Denisa Nica is called and trained to accompany souls on their journeys with God. As a poet, she is called to enter the place where God holds space to listen to Him speak. Through images and metaphors, poetry speaks the language of the Gospel. The Gospel, in turn, informs and inspires her poetry. The Bible speaks many times about the importance of co-sojourners as we move forward on the way. We learn that Christians don’t have to, and shouldn’t, be alone on their spiritual journeys. As you read these prayer poems, join Denisa and in the words of Frederick Buechner, “listen to your life to taste the sacred” by finding your kairos in the everyday.
