Although George Herbert was a pastor of a small remote church in Elizabethan England, he came to fame because of a small collection of poems called The Temple. In this short but beautiful collection of poetry, Herbert devised 116 new poetic forms to capture his experiences of awe, sorrow, glory, turmoil, repentance, and heart-rending joy, all of it dedicated to God, not man.
In this book, we have a picture of the full range of human experience and emotion, felt by a man being sanctified by God and describing it with all his poetic powers.

Pure beauty and brilliance that reflects a life time of meditating on God’s word and how we as Christians can use our individual language to glory him. The opening poems reflected the wisdom of the psalms and proverbs, while later poems brought tears to my eyes as Herbert reflected upon the Cross and Christ’s sacrifice. When he speaks of joy it is because of who Herbert personally knew, and loved and desired to glorify.
