    About this ebook

    May you enjoy reading these twenty-five poems as much as John enjoyed writing them. This is a selection of favorites. You might read them aloud to savor them. The poem "The Twins" was written shortly after nine-eleven to help express some feelings at the time. It is in triple rhyme and refers to two kinds of twins.

    John Lowstreet

    John Lowstreet's first book is about the beatitudes, because in them Christ has made a plain declaration of what He expects of us. Christ is not complicated. He is profound, however. John has spent his life trying to know God personally and to more deeply undertand God. His one quest is to have more experiences with God. John studied the Bible to find God, and as he found Him, grew to love Him. His writings and poems reflect deeply held convictions about the character of God and the importance of Jesus Christ.
