Poetry
By a Firefly's Glow
Poems for Healing, Growing, and Becoming
Fireflies are told a story from the moment they are born: that they are actually fallen stars.
Join one firefly on his quest to transcend the garden and rejoin the heavenly hosts above. Face down the garden that requires conformity, the spider's carnivorous fangs, and the fear that often comes with freedom. This is an adventure, fable, and personal reflection all rolled into one, and you may find that this quest to venture beyond the garden also invites you on a journey toward healing of your own. Because like it or not, we become the stories we tell ourselves, and within these pages you may find a new path forward, illuminated By a Firefly's Glow.

Spirituality
Reclaiming Faith
Learning to Reimagine Church, God, and Ourselves
"I'm not religious; I'm spiritual." How many times have you heard this, or even said it yourself?
Reclaiming Faith is a tender yet practical approach to uniting the spirituality you love with the religion you've lost. After surviving marital abuse and religious discrimination, Clifford reconciled his sexual and spiritual identities and now vulnerably invites you to learn from his journey.
Modelled after his own process of healing, Clifford teaches you how to:
-Read the Bible as though you live among its pages
-Worship as though "church" was a personal sanctuary, not a public one
-Look inside yourself as though God actually dwells there (because God does!)

Reimagining Scripture
A Creative Framework for Stepping Into the Gospels
Read the Bible as though you walk through its pages.
Learn how to engage with Scripture in new and creative ways. After all, the Bible is a book worthy of immersing yourself within. It isn't enough to hold it at arm's length or even to study it in depth. Scripturerequires imagination, being that it was inspired by a Creator whose deepest desire is for us to co-create with the Divine when we read.
In Reimagining Scripture, Trent Clifford invites readers to journey through the Gospels, accompanyingJesus throughout his ministry as these sacred stories and the people within them reveal the fullness of God's heart.
