On Light Sources and Landing Rights: "Decidedly prolific bite-sized, brief, crisply restrained and profoundly philosophical." The Chicago Review"Jaffin's Through Lost Silences offers a rare display of manifold poetic variety. Succinct and challenging enforcers of new insights and deeper understanding, his poems soar in far higher realms than those of prosaic description and rational analysis ... There is sincerity and conviction in Jaffin's crisp, multi-sensory poeticisation of ideas. Existential and philosophical shapings of language, simple and complex at the same time, draw out the true nature of his chosen subjects in an original way overwhelming the faint echoes of older poetic traditions and leaving behind profound aftertaste of experiences lived through for the first time." Edward Batley (University of London)<BR><BR>"David Jaffin is a scrupulous weigher and weighter of words - by which I mean that a poem is, for him, always a matter of collaboration with the true spirit of the language. Every word is given its value, neither more nor less."-Edward Lucie-Smith<BR><BR>"David Jaffin's Preceptions is a fine book. Jaffin's poem, slight on the page, entice, engage, amuse. Yet their brief touchings often reach wholeness, and they are poems of philosophical consequence out of keeping with much of modern poetics. The poems catch perceptions in the act of happening, to be, the short-line verse appropriate to what becomes." Paul Ramsey, The Sewanee Review<BR>"Jaffin's poetry is as 'modernist' as abstract painting while still poetry in the traditional sense, whose purpose is the verbalization of basic human experience and whose form derives from a serious exploration of language ... it is remarkable what depth of experience Jaffin manages to relate through his severely limited vocabulary and imagery." Victor Terras (Brown University)<BR>

Whispers of love is a book of love notes to God and His whispers to us. As the body of Christ we are made new in Him. He loves us so much He sent His son as a living sacrifice for our sins. That when this life is over we do not perish in Hell but have eternal life with Him our Father. I do not know about you, but that's a love that is hard to comprehend sometimes. On earth love is conditional and quickly fading, but when we love knowing we are loved unconditionally by the creator of heaven and earth the captives will be set free. (Perfect love casts out fear).

13 salmer der drejer sig om temaet natur og klima og tilføjer handling.

Men der kan nu sagtens være en sammenhæng mellem kunst og handling. Kunsten - salmerne - kan gå til hjertet og skabe et dybt engagement som er vejen til handling. Salmerne vil synge om mennesket i dets vigtigste relationer - dermed også til medmennesket og til det største - til Gud.Til 11 af salmerne findes der bagest i bogen melodier af Torsten Borbye Nielsen, Kristian La Cour og Merete Bandak.Illustrationerne er af Nysteds dygtige billedkunstner Anita Goblin Rasmussen

Fresh Eyes is a collection of contemporary poetry and reflections that offers the reader a glimpse into the heart of Dr. Miranda Smalls for those who need encouragement, a hearty laugh, or a gentle reminder that God is in the details even in familiar places. The book invites readers to look at everyday experiences in fresh, new ways, or to look back at the good old days, or simply to offer thanks to God for one more day. Fresh Eyes sees a rainbow of hope where others may see despair, and the presence of God where the landscape appears to be barren. The writer sometimes pokes fun at situations, yet always acknowledges that God is at the center of it all. Dr. Miranda Smalls, a former high school teacher who now serves as an adjunct professor, echoes the Apostle Paul's declaration of his love for Jesus Christ and His Word. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes..." (Romans 1:16, NIV). This creed guides her writing, and her life. Dr. Smalls' relationship with Jesus Christ takes precedence over everything else. To her, living for Jesus Christ is the only thing that truly matters!
