The Collage of God
Full Product Description
While training for the priesthood, a stint with a hospital chaplaincy team brought Mark face to face with a depth of suffering that blew his young, confident faith apart. Years later he was still picking up the pieces, but they began to show an entirely different picture of where and how God could be found. The Collage of God is for all who find it difficult to reconcile the realities of life with easy and comfortable notions about faith. In imaginative and beautiful language, and illuminated by many quotes from modern writers and poets, Mark Oakley reconstructs faith as a collage of traditions and texts, the myriad experiences of living, imagination, silence and prayer by which we respond to the grace of God revealed in fragile lives. A contemporary spiritual classic.
The Collage of God by Mark Oakley was published by Canterbury Press in July 2012 and is our 37057th best seller. The ISBN for The Collage of God is 9781848252387.

The Collage of God
Melanie Carroll, via The Good Book StallOriginally published by DLT in 2001
Mark Oakley has written a new introduction where he considers how in the intervening eleven years some things have changed. He also reflects on what he wrote the first time and how he might now write something different, but yet how strongly the intent and central premise of the work still holds true. Melanie Carroll , July 2012
This book has been written by a priest, who very honestly says that he has 'often felt guilty during the last few years about admitting that I cannot find God where others tell me he is…' At these times he turns to friends who he knows personally, or has befriended through their writing. This has enabled him to piece together all sorts of thoughts and writings from many and varied backgrounds all making a collage of God to which he can turn in times of need. One of the things he has learnt is that God is to be shared before he is ever understood. Here he shares with all of us who have ever doubted, what he has uncovered of God’s hidden presence.
Mary Bartholomew, 2001
