Read excerpts before ordering the book =
sample verse 1
when you enter the dark forest
good and bad things lurk
to make and break your soul
take the chance, you will not regret it
darkness and light will encompass you
make the Lord your beacon
for He is the Light in your darkness
gather strength in His grace
and everything will fall into place
beyond your imagination
sample verse 2
listen, do not talk too much
so you can hear your soul
whisper to you
the wisdom of others
listen to silence
so that the softest sound
comes to you in a deafening roar
it will throw you off your seat
be a dry sponge
when the deluge comes
and take in as much of the storm
into your thirsty soul
