Writing this book has been a lifetime endeavor but an enjoyable one. When we become born again, we all become ambassadors of Christ. I felt inspired by God's anointing to develop this work of rhyme and reason. I have focused on themes that God brought to me through many experiences in my Christian walk. My ever-growing faith and communication with God over many years have allowed me to develop what I hope is a work that will result in messages that will challenge the reader to draw nearer to God. The theme of the book is based on Acts 17:28:For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.Acts 17:28 reveals to us a great truth. That truth tells us that without God we are nothing. It is because of Him and His love that we live and move and have our being.He is the source of life, and through His son, Jesus Christ, we can receive redemption. Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. He that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life." God's inspiration and anointing have made this work of faith-based Bible insights and poetry possible.

A Crown of Gold Leaf is a collection of poems that captures the feelings of those who have suffered a great loss. The loss may be the result of a failed relationship or a distance beyond one's control. More tragically, it may be caused by the death of a spouse, friend, or sibling. Even the loss of something in nature can cause unexpected grief. However, this is a book about the inevitable cycle of life, sometimes sad but often filled with precious memories. It honors the life of those who have crossed the great divide and the courage of those whom they have left behind. After a time, it will be the good things that we, in grief, cling.The Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew 5:1-12a include, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."
