Is it crazy to praise God for disasters? You would think so, but this little book Crazy Praises,
challenges that thinking.
Crazy Praises is an insightful collection of eclectic contemporary poetry ranging from the humorous
“God is not a Helicopter Parent” to the serious “A Beautiful Ugliness” to the profound “There Once
Was a Girl”. It has personal, heart-warming stories of a dying man’s last wish, unexplained messages
from beyond the grave and a church community helping to repair a flood damaged property.
Inspirational, dramatic and compelling, each poem shows how God works in our lives to help us find
the good in every situation. Examination of the human experience and the profound truths found in
the Bible underpin each poem, leading to the one conclusion that God is Great and He is worthy of
all praise.
Crazy Praises is the third book of contemporary Christian poetry from new author Christine J Bourne.
Chris has a Diploma in Christian Counselling, is mad about horses and lives on the Sunshine Coast
with husband Peter and their dog, Joy. Chris is a member of two church congregations St Margaret’s
Anglican at Woombye and Church on the Rise, Maleny.
