Publisher's Synopsis
In this, my first published book, I have taken some eighty-six poems from more than three hundred I have written over nearly fifty years. Some express a simple faith in God the Father, some give praises to Jesus, some focus on biblical events and people, and some are what I call the opposite of the parables of Jesus. Instead of comparing an earthly situation with a heavenly situation, as Jesus did, I contrast the two. Some good examples are "Scars," "God Will Never Leave Us," and "You Can Count on Me."
Finally, I have included poems about family relationships, including mothers, fathers, and daughters. If you are a Christian, I hope this book will bless you; if you don't know Jesus as your Savior, it is my prayer that God will use this book to show you one simple truth that Jesus loves you.
