Download or read book A Layman s Heart written by Carlos R. Correa and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a man who claims to have no talent, God has surely shed light on his literary ability to bring a delight to the hearts of many. I have known Carlos Correa for many years and have always believed that his wisdom was a hidden jewel waiting to be unearthed. He has a lot to offer to the people of God. To know Carlos is to know that he is a man who delights himself in the Lord. And through that delight, God has blessed him with a glorious talent—a talent that glorifies God with poetry writings that I refer to as spiritual songs. His spiritual songs bless my heart while at the same time glorify God. His spiritual songs make a good addition to my morning devotion. I am confident that the Word of God dwells in this servant “richly” in all wisdom. This book is an excellent addition to my collection of literature that allows me to “delight” myself in the Lord. Anthony E Jenkins, NMT, MD Professor of Anatomy and Physiology This wonderful collection of poems is a compilation of years’ worth of prayer and meditation. The sweet fruit of a surrendered life is provided for all readers to enjoy. With rhythm and rhyme, Carlos harmonizes deep devotion to God with lyrical poetry. The Holy Spirit becomes accessible to the layman, and the reader’s mind is ushered into the realm of the divine. Emanuel Favela, MD University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Medicine Carlos Correa’s A Layman’s Heart powerfully demonstrates how “ordinary” human beings can seek, find, and touch God’s heart through rhyme. Taking Scripture as the inspiration, Correa uses the Holy Spirit as the vehicle to carry the “ordinary” reader on a deeper, more intimate journey. These poems are modern-day Psalms and should be read aloud with rhythm and drama for full effect. As you read, you will find that you are praying and speaking bite-sized chunks of spiritual truth in each stanza. Importantly, A Layman’s Heart gives us both example and system for studying the Word of God and making it personal. Thank you, Brother Carlos, for helping God’s people grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Mary Adams Trujillo A Layman’s Heart: Conversations with God—this inclusive 366 days of devotion is a must for anyone’s collection of books. Carlos welcomes believers, backsliders, poetry lovers, and everyone else, with the hope to embrace people to the love of God. Every devotion is Carlos’s intimate conversations with God, and he sincerely aspires for all of us to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit through these every day. His conversations with God contain compilations of acknowledgement of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Formatted clear and easy to read—you will not want to just keep it for a daily reading. Nonetheless, continue reading and be blessed by each and every conversation. Dr. Lillian Hau-Degand Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, Illinois
Download or read book Poetry from the Heart written by Cynthia Folston-Williams and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite unfathomable emotional pain, betrayal by loved ones, and a vicious cycle of yearning for outwardly love and attention, healing of the heart is possible! This book is not just words penned to make someone feel good. Poetry from the Heart is a book of deeply personal expressions that reveal many of my life experiences and the deliberate obstacles that God allowed me to go through to heal myself and to help heal others. Some of the poems were directly inspired by the Holy Spirit. This is the first of several books God put in me. In the process of writing this book, I found answers to questions that I had for years. God told me years ago that I would write poetry and that it would get published in a book that would provide me with answers to many question I had. It would also open my eyes about why certain things happened in my life. As I wrote the poems, God allowed the mysteries to unfold. And just as He told me I would, I found the answers that blessed me. The poem Where is God When it Hurts? is the one that inspired me most and triggered the birthing of this book. I went through a vivid time in my life that the only way healing came was through writing what I was feeling. Out of the writings came Poetry from the Heart. For this I am so grateful. I pray that this book will be a blessing to every hand that holds it and every soul that receives it. May it bring wholeness and healing to every part of you and help to lay the foundation for discovering the answers to questions that you, too, have pondered in your heart and never shared with anyone. ... BUT GOD HE THOUGHT I WAS WORTH SAVING To God be the Glory

"Poems for the Heart of God" is a 366-day (including leap year) devotional with a scripture reading from His word, accompanied by a six-line poem for each day of the year. It is written in a way to receive from Him through scripture and a way to give back to Him in a personal heartfelt way.

Download or read book Ten Poems to Open Your Heart written by Roger Housden and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Poems to Open Your Heart is a book devoted to love: to the intimacy of personal love and lovemaking, to a loving compassion for others, and to the love that embraces both this world and the next. This new volume from Roger Housden features a few of the same poets as his extraordinarily moving Ten Poems to Change Your Life, such as Mary Oliver and Pablo Neruda, along with contributions from Sharon Olds, Wislawa Szymborska, Czeslaw Milosz, Denise Levertov, and others. Any one of the ten poems and, indeed, any one of Housden’s reflections on them, can open, gladden, or pierce your heart. Through the voices of these ten inspiring poets, and through illustrations from his own life, Housden expresses the tenderness, beauty, joys, and sorrows of love, the presence of which, more than anything else, gives human existence its meaning. As Housden says in his eloquent introduction, “Great poetry happens when the mind is looking the other way and words fall from the sky to shape a moment that would normally be untranslatable. . . . When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.” From the Hardcover edition.
Download or read book At the End of the Tunnel There Is Life written by Carla Y. Nixon-Haynes and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, you will find words from my heart and soul. You will read about the trials and tribulations that not only hindered and set me back, but caused me a great deal of depression. You will come to know all about God’s amazing grace, and how He used some very difficult times to bring about a significant change within me. After having a pessimistic attitude for many years, I finally came to the conclusion that God created me; therefore, He must understand me. I started praying, and talking to God about issues that I did not feel comfortable talking to anyone else about. This book of inspirational poetry is comprised of my authentic conversations with God. Through my poetry, I was set free to be my own unique self. Throughout my journey and in the midst of trials therein, I have learned to appreciate precious things that I once took for granted such as life, health, and family. God has affirmed that He is in control of my life and has a great plan for me. I do not know the complete depth or details of that plan, but what I do know is God wants me to share my life experiences. I want everyone to know there is life after heartaches and pain. There Is Life At The End of The Tunnel. Hopefully, this book will serve as a token of God’s love and encouragement that helps everyone realize, “you do not have to be a victim or prisoner of your past. You do not have to be held captive by the trials and tribulations in life. You have the ability to turn your pain into power rather than allowing it to control you. You have a choice.” Therefore, choose to be a victor and not a victim. I pray that the presence of God is felt while reading this book, He speaks directly to your heart, and inspire you to believe you deserve to live a great life on purpose, in spite of your flaws, and the mistakes that you have made. You deserve the best of everything that life has to offer. Believe it, receive it, and do not settle for anything less. You are not alone. Sincerely, Carla Y. Nixon-Haynes
