Time and Tide

$14.99

Writing poetry has always been a passion for me. I started writing in my early 20’s and gradually began to find that it was a literary art form to which I sensed a strong calling. So many moments, years, and stages of my life have come and gone since those early days as a writer. Authoring this book has been an incredible journey, one to which God has continually drawn me for decades. I want to thank my amazing wife, Stephanie, and my three kids for their patience with me, as I’ve finished this book over the past summer. I want to thank my wonderful parents and my two brothers for their encouragement through the years. A big thank you also goes to David Clay and Ruth O’Neil. I hope this collection of poems finds a place in the heart of those who love poetry, as well as anyone who casually picks it up to read. My deepest prayer is that God will use this book to impact readers for His purposes and for His glory.
