A compilation of Poetry based on the Bible. God's expression of love for all mankind and His 'amazing grace.' Each poem has at least one scripture reference. This book will encourage the saved and stir an interest in non-believers.
Testimony:
I came into the world with two strikes against me; I remember hitting foul balls my whole life. I continually made the same mistake over and over again. My theme song was, "I did it my way." when the storms of life would come I would just chalk it up as 'payback.' I finally 'struck out.' In nineteen eighty-two at age thirty nine I realized that 'my way' wasn't working. In the past God had rescued me from many 'close calls.' I wasn't 'willing' to give Him control; that is until I hit emotional rock bottom. At that point I cried out to God. I needed a Savior. I needed Christ. That very day I put my life in Gods unchanging Hands, and He has carried me every since. I write poetry based on 'Bible Truths' to encourage those who are saved by the grace of God and to stir an interest in those who have not accepted His 'amazing grace.'
Excerpt
Escape Two by Two:
The people were immoral and evil.
They were totally out of control.
The men of renown of the sons of God,
These thugs were the heroes of old.
They married the beautiful daughters
of man. God's created was full of
indulgence and sin.
And he said; 'they must go.'
The animals, the birds, the
creatures that crawl,
I'll bring down rain and destroy
them all, but! Noah found favor
in the eyes of the Lord, and
God made a brand new plan.
The Lord told Noah; Brother, build
you an ark. When your grandpa dies
the rain is going to start.
Take a hundred twenty years to
build your ship, use the wood
called Cypress and these measurements,
all man-kind from you will now descent.
Genesis 5:27
"And all the days of Methuselah were
nine hundred sixty and nine years: and
he died."
Genesis 6:5
"And God saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually."
