Tough as Nails
Karen J Chisholm
The compilation injects a strong dose of humility, helping people come to the realization that they are but part and parcel of the supreme and that, in the grand cosmic sense, humans are miniscule.
With short lines filled with frenetic action, the style is both poetic and musical, an ode to Christ as indicated in several poems by phrases like “He paid sin’s price.”
Lines that would reverberate with vigor through any church on a Sunday morning.-Mihir Shah, The US Review of Books-
God’s ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. We are called to follow, to take the next step, to keep coming. We don’t know what God is doing and He has a reason for that. I know I have tried to “help” many times, and God has graciously cleaned up my messes, set me back on my feet, and kept my feet on the path as I followed Him.
I know these poems will bless you. They have blessed me. Sometimes I just “stood on the side” and wrote what God was saying. I wasn’t even part of it, but I wrote the words and was amazed. I am still amazed today, and God is getting great glory for Himself.
