It is always enjoyable to talk with Jamie because he smiles, jokes around and has an upbeat personality. Over this time, I have also come to learn and understand Jamie's deep faith in God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection of poems in this book reflects the importance of faith in Jamie's life. As in any journey, a guide or a compass helps to keep you pointed in the right direction. Jamie's compass is his unwavering belief in knowing Jesus is always with him, that he is not alone, that he has a purpose, that his friends and family are with him, and that he is important in the eyes of God. This is a clear and constant message throughout this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJamie's poems provide the opportunity to reflect on our own lives and to think about our own relationship with God. We see the importance of God in Jamie's life, but what about ours? As many of these poems illustrate, God is always there and His presence reveals itself in many different ways and in unexpected moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe type of joy Jamie shares with us in this book, is to take a moment and know that Jesus is always there. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThank you Jamie for sharing your gift of writing, for sharing the joys and struggles you have encountered, and most of all for sharing the importance of faith in God and each other.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon Newman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBelow are 2 poems from the book.\u003cp\u003eJOY\u003cbr\u003eI can feel joy through and through\u003cbr\u003eIt's nothing anyone did or can do\u003cbr\u003eNor can it be measured\u003cbr\u003eIn this world's broken treasure\u003cbr\u003eIt is within me\u003cbr\u003eAn ascending, slow process\u003cbr\u003eA prayer that transcends basic understanding\u003cbr\u003eThe undeserving gift of forgiveness\u003cbr\u003eA whole new world is just beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYOU ARE ENOUGH\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eYou were created in the image of the Creator\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eYou were woven and knitted together from the depths of the earth\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eEach of us were chosen to do good works\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eThrough our weakness, His grace is sufficient\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eDo not persecute yourself\u003cbr\u003eWe have all fallen short of Glory\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eNothing, nothing will separate you from God's love\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eNo matter the scars, He is with you\u003cbr\u003eYou are enough\u003cbr\u003eOh, how great and lavishing is His love\u003cbr\u003eWe are all children of God\u003cbr\u003eWe can no longer be afraid\u003cbr\u003eThe dawn chases away the dark\u003cbr\u003eWe are enough\u003cbr\u003eWe are enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798862793833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.15d","brand":"Don Newman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852151042303,"sku":"9798862793833","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joy-don-newman-9798862793833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
