A collection of Christian Poetry
This collection was written by Cesar during his late teens, and each piece of writing was originally intended to remain as a personal record of his journey with God. Yet the collection at some point became much more than mere thoughts about the world and God; they developed into poems, lyrics and poetry on a full range of subjects.
Then the writing stopped and the pages of thought and devotion were lost to time, gaining nothing but dust in an attic. That is where Cesar found them thirteen years later, and he chose to publish them as a testament to the influences which once surrounded his life, and as a dedication to God for his faithfulness
Excerpt
When dreams soar through the ashes of my desire,
the bruised apples lie rotting into mush,
hidden inside the one piece of eternity,
life itself reborn from the neglect that left it there.

Readers Favourite
Cesar has written highly appealing Christian poems that can be sung or just used as prayers. Each poem expresses the author's joys and life lived as a Christian. Pen and ink sketches scattered in between the poems add personality to the poetry. The author/poet captures in poetic form many thoughts on the Christian life or lack of it. "April Fools" tells of people who mess with others lives. "Caffeine" urges the reader to depend on God and not what's in coffee or tea. Many of the poems ask for help from God in living a better life, and some are mystic like "My Dream", number seventy-seven.Others, like "Silver Teapot" create images in the reader's mind. And yet others, like "Daniel", are based upon Bible stories. Cesar has gathered in "Prayers, Poems, Songs" poetry that he wrote over a period of years and this is a book that many will want to have by their beds or musical instruments of choice for possible daily use.
Cesar has written a group of poems that include ballads, blank verse, and one or more that can be read or sung at a single sitting. The cadence in many of the poems is really good and illustrate the author's writing gift. As the basic theme of each poem varies, but they all impart daily striving to practice religion in every day life, "Prayers, Poems, and Songs" would be a good addition to any library collection, whether personal or that of a church or church school. Author Cesar has given the world a lovely gift in this poetry collection.
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
