Publisher's Description
God designed us to experience human life in a material physical body, using our five senses. He called it good. However, we are also creatures who experience the non-material, non-physical gifts of soul and spirit. Beyond the brain lies the human mind with its ability to think, even abstractly; we can reason and are moral beings. We experience a myriad of emotions while living within relationships with God, ourselves, others, and the world we live in. The Lord also calls this aspect of humanity good. Somewhere Beyond the Body attempts to not only explore the non-material nature of soul and spirit, but challenges at times the current secular notion that humans are just physical beings with higher brain power than other creatures. We even see how the art and craft of poetry reflects this side of our nature.

“T. P. Bird’s artistry of weaving his thoughts into poetry has a way of gently lifting one’s spirits, as well as challenging and exploring the depths of the human soul. His writing is studded with the familiar of the human experience and melodically shaped to be provocative, as well as encouraging.”
