“You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.” — Rick Warren —

Batter my heart, three-person'd God by John Donne

Batter my heart, three-person'd God

by John Donne

Batter my heart, three-person'd God, for you

As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;

That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend

Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

I, like an usurp'd town to another due,

Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;

Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,

But is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue.

Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov'd fain,

But am betroth'd unto your enemy;

Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,

Take me to you, imprison me, for I,

Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,

Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

    Back Cover Synopsis: 

      Each time she contemplated fire, she felt surer that she could learn it and felt a place inside her, a place in her chest, yawn eagerly.

    Enna's brother, Leifer, has found the secret to an extraordinary power - to make fire without a spark. He can use the ability for good... if he learns to control it. But Enna can't decide if it's a power she wants for herself, or one that should be extinguished forever.

    When their home country of Bayern goes to war, the choice becomes unbearable. Enna never imagined the warm, life-giving energy of fire could destroy anything she loves, but now she must try to save Bayern and herself  before fire consumes her entirely.
