The book features a poem entitled 'The Cross'. It was written from the viewpoint of the tree that was used to make the cross upon which Jesus died. The poems in this book cover a span of about 35 years and were inspired by those who have touched the author's life and from experiences in his life. Most were written to encourage and challenge a persons walk with God. There are two lanterns on the cover that make one think of standards from the past that are both fragile and beautiful. These poems lift up our families, our country, our church and our Lord. It is the prayer of the author that they will help you to have a closer walk with each.
