Garden of Faith: The touching, often lyrical, poems of Ruth Y. Nott will soothe and calm, refresh your spirit and touch on some of the questions and doubts we all face in our search for personal happiness and spiritual healing. Combining all the poems you loved in her first book A Pure and Simple Faith with as many more fresh new poems of love, faith and gratitude, Garden of Faith will enlighten, uplift, and encourage.
Have you ever felt uncertain, alone, without courage, shaken in your beliefs? Have you found comfort in the advice of friends, or in the inspirational or spiritual words of a poem? Words from a friend or a favorite book can help, can give us back our courage and faith, can help us to understand and to hurt less, can show us that we are not the first, nor the last, to experience the feelings of hopelessness.
Garden of Faith is such a book, a book wherein Ruth tries to share her faith and love of God with others in need. | |  | | Just Do It!
