Love Letters to God

About the Book

Love Letters is a collection of soul-born poetry that is an expression of the writer’s daily walk with the love of her life—Jesus Christ. The book renders responses to spiritual and emotional struggles and triumphs, prayers and miraculous answers, along with times of supposed distance from God and renewed fellowship and devotion. It is relatable to anyone who is familiar with the pains associated with life, and daily interactions with people who are sometimes not so kind. It keeps us reminded that there is Someone always present to help us pick up the pieces and go on, to love us, to comfort us and encourage us to be all that we can. He—Jesus—is the Lover to whom these songs are written, both the giver, and the object of utmost affection.

        The writer would also have us to understand that in spite of what the subtitle may suggest, this book, “A Book of Psalms…” is in no way to be seen as an attempt to substitute for THE book of Psalms. That simply cannot be. This is why seventy-five poems were written, which is exactly half of the Book of Psalms’ one hundred fifty—to suggest a desire to be “at least half the poet that David was” (said with a smile). It is written relative to the life, devotion and struggles of one who walks with God in this present day and time, and it is hopeful that the reader will discern this, and thus be enhanced in some way by it.
