Each poem is a message of hope, faith and encouragement; much emphasis is placed on Gods relationship with His chosen people the Jews, and His bride to be (His church).
There is no better way to express Gods Word than through rhyme and song.
Our world is changing at a rapid pace. The uneasiness felt by the majority is real. Everytime we think that things can't get any worse, things get worst. Being at peace is close to impossible unless you have the peace that only Gods Word (and the Holy Spirit) can bring.
At the end of each poem is a scripture verse that compliments the poem.
Excerpt
Going Home
Just a few more miles to go
and I'll be home.
Sometimes the road is rough
and your heels begin to burn,
you look into the distance
and you see the old Milestone.
Your feet dragging in slow motion,
and the sand is in your shoes.
Take heart...look up the road!
You're almost home.
I see the finish line,
the place for me to cross.
The end is near,
the radiance clear
and I am almost home.
Philippians 3:14
"I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus."
