    About this ebook

    Poetic Meditations, a new collection of inspirational poems by author John DeCock, presents verse commemorating important Christian holidaysChristmas, Easter, and Ascension Day. Drawing upon warm memories of holidays past as well as the importance of Gods love to all Christians, he explores many vital topics of the Christian faith, such as the second coming of Christ, memorable biblical personalities, the importance of worship, and timely current issues.

    Intended for inspiration for both laypeople and pastors, this collection of verse changes readers to respond to their spirituality and engage with their faith and its traditions.

    Excerpt from The Lords Ascension

    Lets celebrate the Lords ascension
    The day the Father brought Him home
    And all of heaven in attention
    Was gathered round the great white throne.
    And in the midst the Lamb was standing
    His work was finest to the end.
    With trumpet sounds of praise ascending
    to Him who to the earth was sent
    His work was done. The only Son,
    He paid the price, so men could rise
    from chains of sin, and enter in
    the Holy place, by saving grace.

    Lets join in heavens celebration,
    Lets all present our loud ovation.
