The Book of Puzzles

By Tamara Winslow

The Book of Puzzles is a poetic tale about how God gave His Word to humanity. The story begins in Heaven when The Foe (Satan) wars against The Pure (God) as he tries to destroy creation. The theme of the poem surrounds God's Book in Heaven when God decides that He will put His book into clues so the Foe can't discover what's going to happen. From the event of the Fall of humankind to Pentecost, the story moves up and down as the Pure's clues are each dispersed to various human beings like Moses, David. Isaiah and more, until finally, a written form of the Book develops on earth. Things get intense as The Foe tries to discover what the clues mean, until finally the Promised Seed appears and is then killed by The Foe. But the reader will realize that this battle is still raging. Throughout the book the ancient languages and their interpretations, as well as important understanding of the truths of Scripture will cause the reader, Christian and unbeliever alike to become hungry to understand the Bible. Any age of believer will enjoy this special book.

CHAPTER ONE: IN THE BEGINNING

Long before clay was squeezed into vessels with being,

Long before sun and moon spread their light for the seeing,

Long before there was land growing green ‘gainst the sky,

Long before there was sound of a new baby’s cry.

Long before there were fishees and fowls of the air,

Before beasties and creepers alive everywhere,

Long before earth responded to life giving mist,

Long before clay was roused by a Heavenly kiss

Just before all this happened though we can’t be sure,

A prince puffed with jealousy challenged The Pure,

His pride caused a conflict. He wanted more power,

We don’t know for certain the time or the hour.

A battle ensued like had never been known,

The fallen prince greedily craved The Pure’s throne,

The odds were against him and beaten he fell,

For all heard the clang of the prince’s death knell.

The Pure is The Author of all that we know.

The Fallen was labeled as he who is Foe

The stage was now set and the battle
