Gospel Poetry: Book Two (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781980476450)

Loneliness affects everyone - from the young to the old and from the rich to poor. No one is immune and it appears to be a growing problem.
The expressive and creative nature of poetry - in all its many forms can be used to describe the human condition in ways not always possible with straight words and dialogue. Many poems throughout the millennia have vividly expressed pain, suffering and loneliness.
Screenwriter and playwright William Nicholson once said: "We read to know we are not alone". For, there is something about reading someone else's words which helps us know we are not the only ones grappling with difficult emotions and painful circumstances.
The poetic words of the Book of Psalms, in the Bible cover every possible emotion and psychological experience that a person can go through. Many have sought solace in the Psalms and have found comfort and counsel through their very honest and wise words. The reading of many other sources of poetry can also potentially help those suffering from the plight of unwanted solitude as well.
This second Gospel Poetry book tries to highlight this issue of lonesomeness and then present the solution - God's offer of perfect friendship. This solution is found in the Psalms and throughout the Bible and it is the writer's belief that it is the same answer to all of man's many problems.
