Litany of Hope

About the Book

Have you ever had to wait? Have you ever known divine truths ahead of time? Have you ever known that you know what you know, but you do not know how you know? The bible has several examples of men and women who had to wait on God’s promises. It tells us that Abraham waited for twenty-five years; Joseph waited for thirteen years; Moses waited for thirteen years; David waited for thirteen years and Jesus waited for thirty years. They waited and waited for God’s promises to be fulfilled in their lives. This book is about waiting. It is about knowing while waiting and waiting while knowing. The collection is a sequel to “MY SUN” and is a compilation of short poems, soul songs and letters to God. The book depicts a journey of total surrender to God through an inward and outward flow of divine love. The book will be of interest to anyone who has ever had to wait. Just wait and see…
