Preface to Audiobook

I've been reciting the poems in this book to myself for about 40 years and am truly delighted to be sharing them with you!
Each chapter opens with a Bible verse that echoes the theme of the poem, a short introduction, followed by Biblical Reflections which I will read as a narrational montage.

Photos and art work add a unique visual component to the printed version of this book, but I can't very well describe each picture to you. Loses something in translation! So, I'm including them on this webpage for you.
​Click on "Gallery for Audiobook" and follow along chapter by chapter, or scroll down for the Table of Contents below.


You will also find all the Bible verses listed with their citations as they are in the printed edition.

In these increasingly dark days, may the Lord remind us there is surely a time to weep...but there is also a time to laugh! (Ecclesiasted 3:4)
Yet "even in laughter, the heart may be in pain." (Proverbs 14:13)
