I Envy Birds
$17.99Add to cartMy father, Joe B. Chapman, was shuffled from town to town during his childhood as his father followed work on the pipeline. He saw many places and met many people. Texas A&M was the college of his choice and where he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering. His education enabled him to pursue a career which enabled him to see what was once considered the far and exotic reaches of the earth. Not only did my father obtain the knowledge found in books, but he saw the mysteries of other cultures. By human standards, you could say that my dad, although not of noble birth, was influential in his field and has great wisdom. (I Corinthians 1:25-31) these verses teach us, the foolish things of the world can confound the wise. Daddy understands this truth and he has kept his eyes on the Lord and trusted in the Lord’s wisdom and guidance throughout his life. When he tells stories of his travels in the past, he does not boast of the things he has seen or done, but he boasts of what the Lord has allowed him to see and experience as well as the protection He has afforded my dad. By God’s standards, my dad is of noble birth. He is covered in the righteousness of Jesus, which makes him a joint heir in all that God has and loves to give to His children. What my dad wants you to know, and tells you through his poetry is that you too can be a child of The King. You can be redeemed and sanctified by God and you too can boast in the Lord. Written by Pamela Chapman Barrett. (Joe’s Daughter)

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

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.

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
