Produktbeschreibung

Sample Stanzas:

You stir the embers and fuel the flame
Of what we were and what we'll be.
You draw me out, and without shame
I yield me up, enslaved, but free.
~
Heirs together of the grace of life,
Endowed with richness from above,
We live together as man and wife
At the marriage hearth of comforting love.

Insight into how we relate to our world and to one another is the theme of these twenty-five poems. The world is beautiful, but it requires us to face our common realities with courage and grace. A gentle sense of humor can be helpful, although some things are not funny. Painful truth is treated here with respect; however, it is probed with an honest eye. These thoughtful reflections are developed within the paradigm of faith and with trust in the divine plan.

Autorenporträt

When John Lowstreet was a child, God answered a prayer for him. He has spent the rest of his life trying to know God personally and to more deeply understand God. John has had various occupations, hobbies and jobs, but only this one quest. More experiences with God are his holy grail.

John started writing in bits and pieces. He finds writing to be a satisfying discipline, and for some reason poetry seems easiest to write. John uses the Swiss cheese approach as in poking holes in a major priority until it yields. Writing has been a priority for years and is beginning to yield.

John's favorite authors are Jules Verne and Jane Austen, and favorite poets are Rudyard Kipling and William Blake.

John studied the Bible to find God, and as he found Him, grew to love Him. The basic teachings and devotional insights of the Bible have increasingly seemed more significant to him than the mass of theological considerations. A Christian minister of retirement age, John loves Christ and the Holy Spirit and treasures intimacy with God.
