Book Cover & Preview Text
No one can stare at the sun
when the breeze blows the clouds away (Job 37:21),
just as God’s splendor—
Royal! Majestic! Penetrating! Glorious! Too bright to behold.
Moses had to be covered by God’s hand—
the tabernacle curtains erected
to shield the Israelites from His destroying brilliance.
Not until Jesus came—then
eyes saw Him,
ears heard Him,
hands touched Him.
They could look upon Messiah Savior; yet within His earthly body, Jesus was still
Royal! Majestic! The penetrating glory of the Creator!
—God—

About the Book
God knew the deceitfulness of Satan and the outcome in the Garden of Eden; why then did He plant the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil? It is a question that has been asked for centuries. In her book, Poems of Faith in the Garden of Hope and Grace, the author writes in her first poem “Genesis”, that God created all things good the way He envisioned it. He is omniscient—all knowing. God, the Creator, had the solution to mankind’s fall before He established the universe. He knew He’d present Himself on the cross and destroy the work of the devil. These poems speak of God’s hope and grace, how we can take our stand against the enemy and how one day He’ll reestablish a new Paradise!
