In his collection To God, All Are Alive (Bogu su svi živi), folk poet and author Mato Godanj presents inspired and sincere reflections on a fundamental Christian truth: that human life does not end with earthly death, but continues in God’s eternity. Bearing a title rooted in a biblical concept, this poetic and spiritual work is imbued with deep respect for those who have gone before us, for family roots, for one’s homeland, and for the traditional values of the Slavonia region. Through a simple yet exceptionally warm poetic style, Godanj speaks of the hope for a reunion, the comfort that faith provides during times of grief, and the unbreakable bond between the living and the departed within God’s love. Throughout his poems, the author also touches upon the struggles of daily life, prayer, gratitude, and the beauty of the created world, inviting the reader to spiritual vigilance and to cherish every moment gifted to us. This collection offers profound encouragement and peace to all who are facing the loss of loved ones, providing verses filled with light, Christian hope, and an unwavering trust in a God in whom no one is ever forgotten or lost.
