Dorothy Stock (1913-1990) grew up amidst the delightful countryside and natural beauty of Pendle Hill and Morecambe Bay. She explored and adored the natural beauty of Lancashire, and many of these experiences were later re-created in the her early poetry.
Her later poetry was composed as a result of an unforgettable weekend at Park Place Conference Centre, where she encountered God’s love and power in a deep way. In these poems we see the close presence of the infinitely caring and loving God – creator, sustainer, healer, saviour.
