Just a quick note to let you know about my newest book, A Love Letter to the Lost in this Land. It began as an assignment for my class last fall, The Story of Scripture, which is a high-level look at the whole Bible as God's story to us. My professor gave the entire class the creative assignment of writing our own interpretation of His story in any medium - a song, a painting, a mural, or whatever we could dream up. I've become interested in poetry in the last few years so I excitedly made that my creative option.
As I shared the completed poem with the Ever Thine Home staff everyone agreed we should make it available to our readers.
A Love Letter to the Lost in this Land, is a beautifully illustrated poem, thanks to the help of my friend Julie, that tells the story of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. I hope this little book will help you take in the whole of the Bible so that you feel the deep love of God through each victory and struggle of His people throughout the ages. In 30 pages, A Love Letter tells a beautiful story of a beautiful Creator who longs to have a relationship with each and every person. It was a joy and a labor of love to write. I learned so much in writing and putting it together and hope that you might be inspired and learn from it as well.
Here’s a brief excerpt to give you an idea of what’s inside:
Pentateuch Beginnings. Chaos. Creation. Contest. Covenant. Commands. God. Spirit hovered. Chaos. The Word spoke. Then: Light and lights, life and kinds multiplied. Adam made, named, slept. God formed; Eve woke. How Triune God fashioned me from man's side. With beauty pure and God, they walked and dwelt; harmony, freedom, no shame was theirs. See sly enemy stalk. Both listened, both knelt. How I too with them rebelled against Thee. Eden. Lost. Sin and death aggregated. Noah, one upright imperfect man found in the whole world deteriorated. How God promised: a multi-colored vow. Sin remained. God called Abram, declared: "Leave." Promised land, offspring, blessings; with an oath made by Covenant. By faith just believe. How I watch Him call Jew and Gentile both. Surprise Isaac. A miracle. A type, foretelling the foresworn coming Savior. Abraham fully obeyed, raised the knife. How God will give His Son to deliver.
