POEMS and VERSE

Book Cover & Preview Text
We have hope in the name of Jesus
when forsaken, when no-one else cares,
then it's time to surrender and call on His name
and He will answer and all our troubles He'll share.
When people judge us, when friends scoff and scorn,
forgiveness comes thro the shed blood of Jesus
pierced by a cruel crown of thorns.
Turn now from the path that you walk on,
turn now from the ways of the world,
cry out in the name of Jesus,
and believe in His wonderful word.
We have hope in the name of Jesus.

About the Book
As a Christian, I learned at an early age that God was very important in my life. Through the years, I have been mocked and scorned because of my faith. Yet having been through many difficult times and having lived and worked with people much worse off than myself, I felt it time, through God’s inspiration, that I show you how God works in many ways to help us along life’s way.
In the first chapter, I try to show how God, through his beautiful countryside garden, helps us to relax away from the normal worldly pressures that envelop us.
The second chapter provides an insight into the protection God gives, not only for his wildlife, but for humankind as well. We can all take shelter in the outstretched arms of our Protector and Savior.
In the third chapter, I want encourage you to put your trust in your Creator, for more than any father, God wants to look after and protect us from the ravages of a hostile world. All we have to do is trust in him.
In the final chapter, I have tried to show how God’s love embraces each and every one of us.
May God’s love richly bless you all.
