In our culture, the story of Jesus Christ has often become stale because it is familiar. In The Lay of The Lord, Christopher Yokel seeks to reinvigorate the biblical story of Jesus with fresh life by casting it in the form of heroic poetry. Inspired by the words of Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien, who said that Christianity is the "True Myth," this book takes its cues from great works such as The Illiad, The Odyssey, and Beowulf, while utilizing modern poetic sensiblities. Whether for devotional reflection or enjoyment, The Lay of the Lord is sure to offer a new look at the greatest story ever told.
