DISCOVERING BIBLICAL TRUTH, UNCOVERING GOD'S FAITH
DISCOVERING BIBLICAL TRUTH,
UNCOVERING GOD’S FAITH...

Is  an  anthology  of  103 prophetic poems that
took me approximately two years to write and
compile.  The  poems  touch  on recent  major  
archaeological  discoveries  as  well   as   an   
assortment of other subjects, including natural,
scriptural,  spiritual  revelations  and  truths.

I  thank  God  for  giving   me  His  prophetic
insight  that  enables  me  to  write under  His
divine inspiration and guidance. It's the prayer
of  my  heart  that  my  poems would sow and
inspire faith and hope in your life, not just for
that  moment  but  also for the rest of your life.
Keep hope and faith alive as you put your trust
in God.
