Poetry to Encourage is a combination of three segments of Christian poetry. It is written simply and very to the point. It is written for all ages to understand and enjoy. My purpose is to glorify God in every poem. The first segment deals with various topics that most Christians know to be a fact. From Darkness to Light deals with poetry about the Christian walk in more depth. My poetry deals with things like how to treat your neighbor to dealing with the loss of a loved one or dear friend. A Refreshing is a personal invitation from myself to the one that doesn't know Christ as their savior. It can be used as a ministry tool to compel them to come. It is my desire to let everyone know of the intense love that God has for us. And, how it is not his desire that any should perish but all come to repentance. I'll be the first to admit that I am not by any means perfect. But, this doesn't stop me from pressing toward the mark. I write with an underlying theme, that is not to offend anyone, but yet be an encouragement. I hope you read and enjoy this book. It is written from my heart to yours. May God richly bless you.
