If we listen, God speaks in our hearts. I think of this book as "God's love, poured out in black and white". It is a conversation, a journey, in prayer poems.

About the Book

Prayers are so often just "wish and want' lists, without any sense that anyone is even listening to us. But when we make the effort to listen to others, we can learn some surprising things, and this is true in our relationship to God, as well. In thirty-some years of regular church attendance I should have known of God's love. But knowing of something, and actually experiencing it, are two very different things. I learned much, and was comforted much, and even changed much, by the pouring out of my heart and God's outpouring of love in return. I offer here the blessings with which I have been blessed. All praise and thanks to God!

About the Author

I was born in Blossburg, Pennsylvania, November 4, 1945, into a family of four sisters and a brother, all of whom are older than I. Our parents were God-fearing, hard working, and strong. I grew up in a succession of rented homes, changing schools much too often. I did not make friends easily, and so became an avid reader of everything I could find. I became the first of our family to graduate high school, and the first to attend college. I attended Pennsylvania State University at State College, PA, where I met my husband, Donald. We have two children, Kurt and Scott; and God blessed Kurt and his wife Jennifer, with a son, Caleb, in 2001. God has taught me much about being a child of God from Caleb; he is truly a new avenue to discovery.
