Written primarily from a Christian perspective, these poems offer an intimate portrait of faith - not as a smooth and effortless journey, but as a living, breathing relationship that is tested, stretched, and ultimately strengthened through suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this collection is a profound truth: hardship does not have to destroy us. Long-suffering, when carried in faith, becomes a crucible that deepens our connection to God and shapes us into something more resilient, more compassionate, and more whole. Faith here is not static - it ebbs and flows, wavers and steadies - and that honest portrayal makes these sonnets feel achingly real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of these poems are written from a woman's perspective, and several speak with quiet courage to the wounds left by broken relationships and the pain inflicted by others. Yet even these most tender and difficult places are held within a larger story of survival and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat ultimately distinguishes this collection is its vision of the final destination of enduring trial - not merely survival, but praise. To give thanks to God in the aftermath of suffering is portrayed here as both an act of healing and an act of liberation. Praise cleanses the heart of bitterness, loosens the grip of the past, and opens the soul to receive what God has always intended: wholeness, peace, and renewed purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy Soul to Keep\u003c\/em\u003e is for anyone who has ever wrestled with God and refused to let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Merritt Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1962374947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781962374941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prolific Pulse Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Sarah Merritt Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49002104881407,"sku":"9781962374941","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-soul-to-keep-sarah-merritt-ryan-9781962374941","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
