'. . . His eyes can hardly see for pain, and yet, and yet, if you stand yourself beneath his cross, (oh, do not kneel, or bend your head, but raise your eyes and see!) if you stand on very tip-toe, then you will find, to your great sorrow, but his small comfort, that you can reach to soothe the very face of God.' So ends the haunting title piece of this richly imaginative collection of stories. In it we encounter the infant Christ, both vulnerable and divine; the laughing, loving Christ, who delights in us and cares for us; the sorrowful Christ, who suffers on our behalf and draws comfort from our love. Weaving through the book is the theme of Eden - once lost but now restored to us by Christ's saving work on the cross. And our eyes are opened to the possibility of rediscovering Eden for ourselves, as we explore who we truly are in God.
