    About this ebook

    Let us be calm
    in the view of things
    that are to come.

    Let us close our eyes,
    so that we do not err,
    and learn to see.

    Let us endure
    until the great end comes
    and the waves subside
    before the breeze
    from seaside wafting.

    "A volume of poetry that reveals the beauty of its structure only in a repeated reading., but then it should be possible for the attentive reader to find in all these poems his fears as well as his hopes, but also his tasks.
    (Prof. Dr. Sigrid Lichtenberger, University of Saarland, Department of German Studies).

    "Come" is not just a collection of diverse poetry but a composition of poems in the four chapters "I", "ASK" "SAY" and "PRAY". Every chapter is a poem in itself. The author sees himself in the chapter "I" as man at the sea. He puts some troubling questions concerning our time in the chapter "Ask". He answers these questions with his poetic visions of the great Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in tne chapter "Say". What must men do to participate in that beautiful event? This is the subject of the last chapter "Pray".

    Come: Poems
    Author

    Bruno Johannsson

    The author approaches God by using sixteen of His names as a basis for fundamental questions concerning the being of God and the manifestation of His works as told in the Holy Scriptures. Christians and Non-Christians who feel doubts concerning some subjects of Christian theology will find some of their thoughts - and perhaps some answers - in these monologues.
