Glimpse Of Light
$22.99Add to cartBefore I gave my heart to Jesus Christ and received Him as my Lord and Savior,
I lived a life that reflected decisions made outside the will of God. Christianity
and salvation were the furthest thoughts from my mind, and I was happy living
for the moment. Even though my sins were not categorized by man as being
horrible sins worthy of punishment, nonetheless, in the sight of God, they were
sins worthy of His punishment and, yet, His forgiveness.
I wrote this book of poetry because I want you to know that Jesus is knocking
at the door of your heart (or someone that you know). He wants to lift you
from the darkness of sin and place you in the presence of the marvelous Light.
He wants to become the Rock of your foundation, the Head of your life, the
Redeemer of your sin, the Healer of your illness, and much, much more.
Receiving Him changed my life! Now He wants to change yours! -

Heaven Sent Poems
$10.99Add to cartDear Reader:
What is the agenda that God has set for your life? How does one retain one’s faith while facing life’s vicissitudes? I received the answers to these questions in a unique way that I now share with you, praying that these messages will also enhance you spiritual growth. As a child I had little religious upbringing. However, I was always drawn to God’s words, strengthening my spiritual beliefs on my own by reading the Bible and praying. After my mother’s death, I joined a Methodist church and its college youth group where I met my husband.
We raised three children, then after living on a sailboat for three years, my husband and I divorced. I returned to California to be reunited with our three children, seven grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and my twin sister.
I continued my spiritual growth by joining a church and two prayer groups. But extraordinary help came to me as I slept. I believed the Holy Spirit sent me the words to these poems, thus strengthening my faith even further.
I now share these poems with you, praying that they will also enrich you faith.
With God’s blessing,

Apples Of Gold
$21.99Add to cartI grew up right outside Houston, Texas, never knowing who the Lord Jesus was or the extent of what he could do, until the ripe old age of thirty three, when I meet him in a prayer of desperation. From that point on he has taken me on a journey of spiritual warfare and discovery of truth that I would not have believed were possible had it not happened to me. I had looked for fulfillment in the vices of the world and came up empty, but I thank God that when I ran out of options and admitted defeat there was someone there to catch me. It was none other than the Lord Jesus Christ himself, who had been waiting to see that glorious white flag of surrender. I take no credit whatsoever for the birth or writing of this book, It was birthed in prayer by the Lord himself and he has been beside me writing the words and selecting the scriptures ever since. He explained this to me in one verse of scripture, which I take great pleasure in sharing with you now. Second Timothy 1:9 “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” Proverbs 25:11 “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” People need nourishment We’re often told But more than that They need “Apples of Gold” A word fitly spoken Can set a soul free From all of the lying Done by our enemy Thus the title Of my little book Which I pray brings you blessings When in it you look

Mercies And Exhortations
$10.99Add to cartPoetry expresses the deepest of emotions. It reveals the passionate core of what the writer is feeling and thus is able to carry the reader to feel those same emotions. With both the words spoken and the unspoken words, it allows the reader to transcend and unite in those emotions. Just like a song can touch your heart and cause you to connect with it in such a way to say, “Wow, that is what I am feeling”; poetry also touches our hearts in that same way. This collection of poems has been written over a period of many years. As a collection it expresses one major theme-that God is faithful, full of mercy and grace even when the obstacles of life may have created pain, sorrow, or doubt. It displays the frailties of a human spirit that can be overcome when united with an all-powerful God of Love. In this, the poetry becomes a song of praise to a faithful God who truly knows the best plan for your life and mine.

Notes From The Tilt A Whirl
$18.99Add to cartA visual, poetic exploration of the narrative nature of the world and the personality of the Poet behind it all. When Nate Wilson looks at the world around him, he asks “What is this place? Why is this place? Who approved it? Am I supposed to take it seriously?” What could such an outlandish, fantastical world say about its Creator? In these sparkling chapters, Wilson gives an aesthetic examination of the ways in which humanity has tried to make sense of this overwhelming carnival ride of a world. He takes a whimsical, thought-provoking look at everything from the “magic” of quantum physics, to nature’s absurdities, to the problem of evil, evolution and hell. These frequently humorous, and uniquely beautiful portraits express reality unknown to many Christians-the reality of God’s story unfolding around and among us. As the author says, “Welcome to His poem. His play. His novel. His comedy. Let the pages flick your thumbs.”

Astonishments : Selected Poems Of Anna Kamienska
$21.00Add to cartKamieska came of age during the horrors of the Nazi occupation of Poland and lived under the oppression of Communism. These experiences, and the sudden death of her husband, led her to engage with the Bible and the great religious thinkers of the 20th century.

While exploring the meaning of loss and grief, and the yearning for love, Kamienska’s poetry still expresses a quiet humor and a pervasive sense of gratitude for human existence and for a myriad of creatures: hedgehogs, birds, and “young leaves willing to open up to the sun.”
In the quiet space of Kamieska’s poems “the tenderness of things enfolds you” and words speak as eloquently as the silence.

Poems That Propel The Planet
$26.49Add to cartThe love of people must surpass our love of power. We must remember we are all interrelated and interconnected as one. None of us are as strong as all of us. Together we all accomplish more. Divided we fall apart and destroy ourselves. There is nothing new under the sun. Wars have been fought throughout time. Peacemakers however who transcended the killing instinct and unified people have proven to be timeless. Their words still speak to us today providing wisdom and guidance. Love for humanity moved great liberators, reformers, and pioneers throughout history. Much can be learned from them. In a world where competition and negativity thrive, we need fresh inspiration to empower us. Where consumerism, consumption, and corporation nation have captivated us, we need truth to cut us free. Geopolitically the self-willed foreign policy of nations has caused much evil. The American way has led to unnecessary deaths throughout the globe. It is time politicians seek the global good rather than plundering the planet for petrodollars and arms contracts. The power of disagreement provides enlightenment, while challenging our ideological orbit. When ultimatums replace options and alternatives, the power of diplomacy is severed along with our international influence. Constructive dialogue however paves the way for reconciliation and peaceable conflict resolution. Military invasion and occupation creates rather than eliminates terrorism. Militaristic campaigns never win the battle for the hearts and minds of humanity, neither do they provide for posterity a meaningful legacy. Love, liberation, and reconciliation is what the world needs.

Still quite young, he moved on and began his studies, which led to his Bachelor’s degree from United Wesleyan College. This helped prepare him for his pastoral and evangelistic calling. His own marriage of almost fifty years ended in the passing of his wife. He has since remarried. He and Lily together have a music ministry. D. J. “Pop-Pop” Wooten, as he is now often affectionately called, has studied churches and homes for the long years in his service to God. I have owned my religious bookstore for forty five years and I know of no other book on the teachings of marriage that has been put in this kind of poetic form. It is both Biblical and practical, as well as pleasant to read and at times very, very challenging. Every age can benefit from the study of the principles of which he writes.” Pastor Jack Savage OWNER, JACK’S RELIGIOUS GIFT SHOP SALISBURY, MARYLAND

Climbing Higher : A Life In Poetry
$16.49Add to cartReal life poetry goes beyond niceties. The spoken word is “supposed” to take on defining times. The poetry landscape gives meaning where meaning has been lost, emotion to callousness, encouragement to discouragement, life to death and – even, at times, death to what is only an illusion of life. We hurt, laugh and cry, mess up but get back up again. In today’s “reality” we must be real. We are victorious ONLY as we press through.

Ordering Of Love
$21.00Add to cart“In a brilliant marriage of myth and manner, histories sacred and profane, prayers of petition and of praise, these poems both articulate and illumine the trouble in the gap in which we live-the gap between human affections and Divine Love. L’Engle is unfailing in her willingness to see through-not around-human suffering, and in so doing announces no final severing of spirit and flesh but an enduring vision of resurrection in that crux, in the cross, in the One in Whom all things meet, continuing.”
-Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim and Philokalia: New and Selected Poems“I love L’Engle’s poetry for the way it incarnates not only the great Truths of the faith, but all the little truths of our ordinary existence-our working and playing and loving and fighting and dreaming and idling and all the rest of it-and for the way it shows us that those big and little truths should not, cannot, be separated.”
-Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author“Why is L’Engle one of the defining poets of our time? Because when life hurts, she does not shrink from the wounds. She clarifies the murk with hope as we feel the lift of grace.”
-Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School
Birmingham, Alabama“We are, all of us, the richer for this carefully crafted and prayerfully rendered collection.”
-Phyllis Tickle, Author, The Divine Hours“Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to be shared.”
-Madeleine L’EngleMadeleine L’Engle’s writing has always translated the invisible and intricate qualities of love into the patterns and rhythms of visible life. Now, with compelling language and open-hearted vulnerability, The Ordering of Love brings together the exhaustive collection of L’Engle’s poetry for the first time.
This volume collects nearly 200 of L’Engle’s original poems, including eighteen that have never before been published. Reflecting on themes of love, loss, faith, and beauty, The Ordering of Love gives vivid and compelling insight into the language of the heart.

The woman looked at as a Sinner rises up, no longer to be looked at as the Sinful Woman she once was but as the woman God intended her to be. She becomes Victorious.

A beautiful brokenness that sees joy and hope in the midst of suffering and pain. A brokenness that can see Jesus Christ reaching out a hand of love and forgiveness through the tears in her eyes. She finds a Jesus that will love her right where she is at. The woman looked at as a Sinner rises up, no longer to be looked at as the Sinful Woman she once was but as the woman God intended her to be. She becomes Victorious.

Road Of Life
$21.95Add to cartIn his thirteen years as Vicar, popular author David Adam welcomed over 1 million pilgrims to the Holy Island of Lindesfarne in Northumberland. Each pilgrim had a story to tell and each came for a different reason. Some radiated a sense of God’s presence, and others were simply too hurried to do anything but look around quickly and move on to the next site.
Using the stories of pilgrims Adam encountered on Holy Island, he explores how we can approach our own lives as pilgrimage, without ever leaving the comfort of our homes. How can we move beyond what is safe in our world and encounter the Mystery? How can we learn to disconnect from all the technology that keeps us multi-tasking all day and all night? How can we rediscover awe in the world around us?
In the wonderful prose and poetry for which he is so well-loved, David Adam helps us get on the road of life, even when we don’t have time to travel to distant lands.

God Of Dirt
$11.95Add to cartWinner of the Pulitzer Prize for American Primitive, Mary Oliver has published numerous books of poetry and essays. Her poems are quoted in everything from Web sites to hymn books. Earthlight, a “Magazine of Spiritual Ecology,” has declared her an “earth saint.”
In this engaging study, Thomas W. Mann shows Oliver to have keen eyes and ears for reading the book of nature. Readers will discover that the correspondence between Oliver’s poetry and traditional religious language provides a fresh perspective from which to enjoy her work. At the same time, Oliver’s reading from the Other Book of God invites us into nature’s “temple” where we may come into the presence of the holy and from which we may leave rejuvenated and blessed. God of Dirt is an important study of a contemporary poet whose work is as likely to be read by a preacher in a pulpit as by an activist at an environmental rally, and will help us experience a new vision of the beauty of our world. -
Poems Of An Anointed Breakthrough
$14.99Add to cart“When I was age fourteen, God began imparting in me poems that were dealing with the hurt, pain, love, and even disappointments that were taking place in the lives of people. At the age of thirty-two, I was incarcerated. That’s when the gift that God had imparted in me began to supernaturally manifest itself in my spirit. I was given a prophetic word from a man of God saying that I would write like Paul. Within those three years of my incarceration, I not only experienced the life of Paul, but I also experienced the mighty works that Jesus did, as I made Him my personal Savior and the Head of my life. It was then that I was led into my prophetic calling as an anointed vessel of God.” -EVANGELIST YOLANDA COTTON These anointed poems will open your eyes, heart, and mind into receiving God’s Word in such an understanding way that it will heal, deliver, save, and even inspire you. It will change your heart into believing that God is loving, forgiving, caring, and merciful. And He’s also a chastising and correcting God.

Blue Collection
$15.49Add to cartLongfellow Press
The Blue Collection is a compilation of moods and emotions written in words that best describe who I am as a person as well as my past and previous experiences. The poems included in this book range from people, places, and things to beliefs, observations, hopes, and dreams in which my whole life is based. This book does not have one main subject or theme; it is an accumulation of random thoughts and ideas that everyone in some aspect can relate to. These works are a hybrid of classical and contemporary styles that in my opinion are the missing links in the poetry of today. My main goal is self-expression in the form of poetry in which children of the youngest age to men and women of any culture can grasp the concept of my works. -

Great I Am
$13.49Add to cartThe Great I Am is the first work in a series of books of poetry from an unknown yet gifted poet. But it is much more than just a book of poetry. Rather, it is a book of exaltations that will make your heart sing for God, your mind take hold of the things of Christ, and your spirit rise up with boldness. It is a book of timeless truths expounding on God’s grace, mercy, deliverance, and greatness, and our need to have faith in a faithful and almighty God. And if the poetry were not enough, the author begins this book with a personal essay, which serves to do more than introduce herself to the Christian literary community.

This young woman’s tribulations and tragedies were the foundation for her spiritual deliverance that marked the pathway to her God-given destiny.

Becoming One

Listen With Your Heart
$16.49Add to cartThis is not simply another book of poems. To tell the truth, the author never really liked poetry much. The poems are divided into groups such as grace, faith, and praise, enabling them to be used as devotionals. Through the words of the Psalms and the language of the Scriptures, certain truths are revealed in the words of the poems. They are truths that all readers can know if they are open to the message that lies within. Through praise and honor to God, the words reveal their meaning through simple phrases. The writings will help you understand that during your happiest or saddest moments, and everything in between, keep your eyes focused on the Lord. Though the answer may not be clear, the destination is still the same. These words were revealed to an ordinary person who opened her heart to what God had to say. Nothing is “different” or “special” about her; she just learned to listen.

Truth Seeker
$15.49Add to cartCut off from our connection with the divine, humankind is afflicted by a metaphysical anxiety, which is now a global condition. The Truth Seeker is one woman’s journey to try and combat this malaise. Through poetry and prose, Lucy White questions her beliefs and tries to make sense of the secular and the sacred in her search for a connection with that essence of divine love we call God. Meditating on her personal journey led the author to the awareness that we live in a world of polarities between which we ricochet unknowingly. At present the secular outweighs the sacred and the male force outweighs the female force. Balancing these forces could bring peace and harmony to the world. The author espouses a new philosophy, that of Spiritual Feminism, a philosophy that acknowledges and elevates women as wise nurturers connected to the divine, a philosophy that balances the female force equally with the male force. During the writing of the book, Lucy White began to experience a benign energy force that seemed to be tracking her progress. Was God keeping an eye on her work?

If I Could
$14.99Add to cartIf I Could… is a compilation of biblical scripture taken from the King James Version of God’s Word and poetry by Paul McCutcheon. Even if you don’t agree with the interpretation of God’s Word, the poetry is very inspiring. Through the power of technology, Paul’s poems have helped show others they are not alone in their grief. Paul uniquely combines the Word of God with his poetry, taking a person through the steps leading to salvation and the gift of comfort that God offers to all who grieve the loss of a loved one. Paul continues his journey through grief from the death of his three sons with a deep desire to help others learn how to cope with their grief. He knows that a person in grief from the loss of a child cannot “just get on with their life,” yet he does know they can learn to cope with their grief. Paul’s book also offers a list of organizations dedicated to helping those who face a life of pain brought on by the death of a loved one.

Seeing The Psalms
$40.00Add to cartWilliam Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance. Brown’s pioneering work explores the hermeneutical promises and challenges of interpreting the book of Psalms through the lens of metaphor. While form-critical analysis has been the staple of psalms research for over a century, scholars have by and large overlooked the Psalter’s use of imagery at great theological cost. More than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter embodies “incarnational language,” discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. The psalmist’s use of imager, Brown argues, has the power to captivate the imagination, edify the mind, and cultivate moral discernment and theological reflection.

Issues Of Life In Poetic Verse
$27.99Add to cartIn this unique work I have covered a variety of topics that have become vital though controversial in daily life. I have approached the subjects with an infusion of poetic verse dealing with the issues encountered in life that have been, and are, issues of personal conflict. There is no attempt to be scientific nor to disprove evolution, although many readers will require scientific answers for which there are none, because both Evolutionists and Creationists utilize faith for the proof they employ in their philosophies of life for the past, present, and future. The issues of faith are the real and only answers to many issues. The treatment of them is the result of a deep, personal religious faith that reveals to us a nation’s loss of morality in all segments of society from the point of view of a Christian. Christian Faith and Patriotism are two issues widely covered because morality is deeply involved in each of them. The last half of the book deals with an apologetic of creation because it is obvious to all Christian readers that there is a subtle attack against the promotion of their faith in America as a very real issue. Suffocation of Christianity from many quarters is an open fact of life. Many of the topics treated are not generally in the public’s daily reading matter and it should encourage Christians to continue to maintain a faith strong enough to withstand the attacks to destroy the Christian faith in America that have just begun in earnest.

Understanding God : Poems And Songs
$21.99Add to cartVeronica Grant-Miranda has been compiling her writings in her continuing journey of understanding God. Her first writing was in 1974 after a traumatic divorce when she cried out: “God, why me? You know I love and serve You!” God quickly replied, “Why not you?” Veronica realized that she was not exempt from pain and tragedy. In her trauma she cried and cried and cried. In her futility she clearly heard Jesus calling her name: “Veronica.” Upon hearing His voice her tears suddenly stopped. She also began to understand that this God whom she loved since the age of seven cannot be fully understood by human beings such as she, but can be completely trusted. He ever abides.

As the unsurpassed Christian epic poem, Dante’s Divine Comedy provides not only far more personality and emotional depth than the pagan epics, it opens up all the issues on which Western history turns-truth, beauty, goodness, sin, sanctification, and triumph.In this guide, Peter J. Leithart brings his rich biblical-typological insight to bear in opening up the Comedy for students, high school and up, mainly the sort of kids who keep looking for the jokes in the comedy. After examining the meaning and place of the courtly love tradition leading up to Dante, the heart of the guide walks us carefully through the craft and symbolisms of each progressive stage – Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Each section contains helpful study questions.

Roar On The Other Side
$15.00Add to cartPoetry stands at the center of Christian living. We glorify God through noticing, comparing, and naming in sometimes startling ways. Unlike the eye of science, poetry sees the deeper meanings that bind seemingly disjointed facts together. Poetry is the language of revelation, a most immediate means by which we may suspect the Mystery of the Word inhabiting our lives. The Roar on the Other Side is an invaluable introduction to the habits and skills that make a poet; more importantly, it is an introduction to the “vision” that makes a poet worth reading.

Chapters Into Verse (Abridged)
$39.99Add to cartDescription
Drawing a unique map of the history of English poetry, Chapters Into Verse surveys and defines the literary legacy of the Scriptures from the fourteenth century to the present. Arranged in scriptural order from Genesis to Revelation, the book presents each poem alongside the biblical passage that inspired it. Thus readers can conveniently witness the various ways sacred text has sparked the imagination of poets throughout the ages. The editors have included poems by virtually all the prominent religious poets–among them John Donne, George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, Edward Taylor, and Gerard Manly Hopkins. Included, too, are devotional and visionary works from a wide range of vintage poets–Robert Burns, William Blake, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Christina Rossetti, Alfred Tennyson, and Robert Browning. Proving that the Bible is just as powerful a source of inspiration today as it was in the past, the collection also assembles a mixed congregation of modern and contemporary poets, such as Dylan Thomas, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Countee Cullen, e.e. cummings, William Butler Yeats, Laura (Riding) Jackson, A.D. Hope, Denise Levertov, and Philip Levine.Of enduring interest to readers of both scripture and literature, this anthology illuminates key passages of the Old and New Testament. In selection after selection, readers will encounter an astonishing variety of religious experiences, as a host of poets from many eras and many backgrounds respond to Holy Scripture profoundly and imaginatively.
