Synopsis
“Kingdom Verses” is the first of The Kingdom Books collection to be released and has a CD that accompanies it. “Kingdom Verses” comprises a collection of poems with a religious element, and some of which bring awareness to the disturbing current political culture and everyday life situations that many people face. The lifespan of these poems embraces over four decades, and has recently taken momentum. “Happiness” was the first among them and was compiled in “Collected Whispers”, The International Library Of Poetry, 2008″. “Kingdom Verses” implies that it originates from God; a gift to His humble servant. It aspires to bring hope, comfort, and peace to people, to help face these troublesome times in a globalized culture of changes and challenges. Over the years, the poems evolved from the Traditional style poem, to the more Contemporary poetic prose. It is my desire and expectation that “kingdom Verses” will powerfully serve the purpose for which it was designed.
