Dear Colleagues,
Many of you will remember Jenelle and Mark Dove, and their children Tim, Todd and Shelley from Local Church Experiment days, summer programs, councils, rites of passage, academy, and beyond. When we lived in Greensboro, we were privileged to reconnect with them as they visited their college grandson there and then later to exchange visits with them in their southern wintering spot.
During that time we discovered some of Jenelle’s gift of Haiku poetry, (several were published on Journey Reflection) and we encouraged her and Mark to publish some of their works. Mark published a number of times on Progressive Christianity and Jenelle’s book “Reflections on Jesus’ Journey” has just come out and is available through Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
Using the discipline of the haiku form, 5-7-5, and the art form methodology, Janelle invites us on a journey through the phases of Jesus’ life as she reflects on a particular passage of scripture and extracts meaning for her own life, often ending with a question still to be pondered.
Their daughter Shelley was one “our" younger ones added to the Memorial Wall in 1984. A poignant haiku reflects the pain and healing of that grief-filled time. The book is in loving memory of Shelley’s life and death.
Janelle credits her wisdom to her own Sunday School upbringing, mentors, her real-life experiences, her ministerial husband, and “the gurus of the Ecumenical Institute.”
This is an excellent little book for Lenten and Easter reading and reflection and gifting.
