Opis

These collections address the transient nature of life and the comfort of eschatology;true and false friendship and outright enmity; God's method of rewarding the obedient and dealing with the rebel,the ingrate and the opportunist; the importance of tolerating criticism, suffering; living in unity; prudent giving; separation from religious syncretism. The euphony, the music, and the objectivity of these poems give comfort to the human mind, which had been so encumbered with loads of care, and draws attention Divinity. One can take a piece to digest and sleep off on those nights that wandering thoughts want to hold vigil. In this regard, the author is expecting testimonies from such beneficiaries. Going beyond personal comfort, these poems could be used by preachers to enhance the beauty of their sermons. How? The preaching student or preacher, after having drafted a sermon, may find some points that could serve as illustrations. These illustrations could come as introduction to the entire delivery or to the text or some other point of the message.
