WORDS FROM THE HEART

About the Book

This book of poetry reflects my thoughts about God, my own personal journey, as well as reflections on the world at large. The preface of this book gives my reason for writing this special piece of work. Poetry takes time, much reflection, and lots of energy, especially when the reflections express the inner workings of the Holy Spirit in one’s life.
