We may find it impossible to miss God in the great interruptions of human existence, but God often finds a humbler dwelling-place . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonna Lazenby was in a packed underground carriage when it was taken siege by a group of musicians ripe to start a ceilidh. The \u003ci\u003eeruption\u003c\/i\u003e into dull passivity of joy seemed a herald of the Kingdom of God. And so she began to write a series of reflections, some prosaic, others more poetic in tone, that open up ways of seeing light in darkness; love in places of desolation; in-breaking life when all seems tired and old. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the coming of this Kingdom is also revealed in protest, in the world's cry against a pervasive sense of alienation, while an allegedly 'secular' culture steals and presents the claims of the Gospel as its own. And so, \u003ci\u003eDivine Sparks\u003c\/i\u003e calls us to be prophets: visionaries able to discern and proclaim God's incoming Kingdom, as it arrives by day and night.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for the author's \u003ci\u003eA Mystical Theology\u003c\/i\u003e (Bloomsbury, 2014):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Written] with elegance and originality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Pickstock, Professor of Metaphysics and Poetics, University of Cambridge\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Donna J.
