Hartin's poetry demonstrates a way of shepherding that is rooted in the art of pastoral ministry."" --Joel Lawrence, president, Center for Pastor Theologians ""Cole Hartin's poems deal with matters which lie at the heart of our lives: the joys and sorrows of the day to day and the struggles we have in aligning our faith with the demands of life. They are insightful and lead us to the deeper places of our soul."" --David Edwards, Anglican metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada"
