This book is based on inspirational poems of faith, memories, hopes and dreams for all who have experienced these at sometime in their lives. It is my hope that some or all of these poems will give solace and thought to all those who read them.

This is a book of hope, the hope I found in Jesus Christ through all my joys and all my trials. I called upon Him and He came to me. As a matter of fact, He never left me! He was there all the time, waiting for me to come to Him. When I finally did, He blessed me and rescued me and joined in with me in joyous celebration. May your hope be restored and inspired as you read my book, Poems of Inspiration and Faith. This book of poems is uplifting and thought provoking. It puts on paper thoughts and feelings that I often have but don’t have the words to express it. I recommend this to everyone who walks with Jesus. You will not be disappointed! (Tina Fultz) I am very grateful for the gift of this Inspirational book. It’s uplifting, meaningful and very good reading for everyone. Definitely God has blessed John with a gift of writing, and I believe he is fulfilling his purpose through his words. (Lorretta Reider)

Faith, Hope and Poetry explores the poetic imagination as a way of knowing; a way of seeing reality more clearly. Presenting a series of critical appreciations of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day, Malcolm Guite applies the insights of poetry to contemporary issues and the contribution poetry can make to our religious knowing and the way we 'do Theology'. Readers of this book will return to their reading of poetry equipped with new insights and enthusiasm and will be challenged to integrate imaginative ways of knowing into their other academic and intellectual pursuits.

Rays of Hope: Poems of Faith and Inspiration is a book of poetry designed for a varied reading experience. The poems in this volume point regularly to the love, promises, and faithfulness of God. Each poem can be read as an individual devotional prompt or poems can be read as desired. The reader is encouraged to use the open space on each page for his or her own reflections, expressions, or prayer. The variable length and style of the poems is deliberate to enable a variety of reflection experiences and opportunities.

In the fast-moving pace of the world in which we now live, oftentimes we find ourselves overwhelmed with troubles, trials, sorrow, and grief. A feeling of desperation to overcome these situations can lead us in the wrong direction. We all have experienced or seen that the world can be a cold, cruel place, and if we are trying to make it on our own, we are destined to fail. The Light in the Dark is a heartfelt, soul-wrenching collection of poetry filled with hope, love, a promise for eternity sublime, and the poignancy of the pain and detrimental effects that can be inflicted by society. These poems touch on a vast array of emotions, situations and environmental conditions that can easily influence lives and their outcomes. Some are based on personal experiences, some on personal observations. Each poem, while bringing to point the harsh, dark realities we are all faced with, consistently brings to light the answer for all our conflicts and turmoil, all our debilitating pain, grief and sorrow, all our struggles and battles, all our triumphs and failures, yes, all our needs. Indeed, the answer to all things is Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Conqueror of conflict, counselor of confusion, Creator of all things, the Prince of Peace, the way-maker regardless of your situation.

I write about true life: the things that inspire me, bother me, and encourage me. I also write about my family and friends and other people along the way. I always point to the Lord as my source of love, encouragement, and the answer to all my worries and cares. There is nothing too big or too small that God can't handle. He is my all in all.
