Recital of Love is a collection of treasures gathered up in prayer. Each one focuses on something precious to God, hopefully giving us an insight into his heart and the grace to look at life with a different, more eternal perspective. Written as nuggets of wisdom and encouragement in poetic prose, these pieces are garnered from silent contemplation, and presented to be savored by all God’s beloved children.
“I love reading Keren’s work and her new book Recital of Love encourages us to experience the mystical beauty of Divine Love, something we all need to feel more connected to each other.”
—Richard Rohr
“What a delightful and enriching book. I intended to read it slowly, taking several days to relish the beauty of Keren’s words but found my eyes riveted by her beautiful poetry prose and couldn’t put it down. Its contemplative and sometimes mystical style draws the reader into a deeply intimate place with God, relaxing and renewing our souls. It is a book that I will be returning to again and again in the coming months.”
—Christine Aroney-Sine, author of The Gift of Wonder
“Recital of Love is a splendidly beautiful and God-glorifying work. Dibbens-Wyatt has received the letters of love contained within her book as revelations, and the scriptural genre she uses will bring comfort to whoever reads it. It is a trustworthy resource that piqued my spiritual curiosity, causing me to ponder the caverns deep in my own experience. Knowing the depths of the author’s life experience gave me assurance, that, as I read along, I was in very safe hands. Imbibe Recital of Love deeply and let it linger on the palate of your psyche, and notice with gratitude how it gravitates to soothe your soul.”
—Steve Wickham, pastor, counsellor, chaplain, and author of Shining Gift of God
“Keren writes so beautifully, she uses words like artists use paint and her work moves me beyond words. Keren paints with words, light and grace, deceptive simplicity that carries profound insight and opens new windows of understanding.”
—Jennifer Rees Larcombe, author, speaker, founder of Beauty From Ashes.
“Combining an artistic sensibility with theological substance, clear biblical convictions with powerful metaphors, and elegant prose with a poetic feel, this book provides a glimpse into the heart of the triune God that is both invitational and welcoming. And all of this penned by a writer who understands what it means to live humbly with God while finding strength in weakness. Writing a book that purports to present God’s words to humanity is a risky business. I am glad that Keren took that risk.”
—Dr. Rod Wilson, Former President, Regent College, Consultant, Author, Conference Speaker
Keren Dibbens-Wyatt is a contemplative and mystic in the Christian tradition with a passion for prayer and creativity. She writes to encourage others into knowing the Lord more intimately, as well as to share the poetic ponderings of her heart. Keren suffers from M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis) which keeps her largely out of the trouble she would doubtless get into otherwise. She lives in South East England with her poet-chef-musician husband and their slightly deranged black and white cat.
