Many thinkers and writers have even put God on trial. In THE ASH AND THE THORN, his second collection of poems, Leonard H. Roller explores, through verse, the mystery of a seemingly self-contradicting Deity in a puzzling universe. Themed to the stirring, Old Testament tale of Uzza, Leonard invites the reader to consider the terrible beauty of the world.","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166021370096,"sku":"2940151439046","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151439046_p0.jpg?v=1764010814","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151439046","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
