Turning Your Frown Upside Down: Poetry and Scripture (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781779620569)

This is a moving collection of personal poems, reflecting the author's life and faith journey.

"I could feel the warmth of a tender childhood, of loving and wise parents; I could feel the depth of her faith in Jesus because she knew God's love firsthand; I could feel the pride of a mother and of a daughter.

"These verses convey one person's view of life, but they also manage to draw on universal themes which invite the readers to see themselves in the poetic imagery and recollections."

"Sharon's spirit comes through in the poems that you'll find here. From the most ancient of days up to the present, poetry helps us to find expression for our deepest feeling and hopes, and engaging others' poems can help us to see (and hear!) the world in new ways. Sharon's work does that for us."
