Alvin Russell Peebles

A prolific poet, Peebles began writing in junior high school. He developed his craft in the Greater Philadelphia area, and is currently a freelance poet in Pennsylvania. "This book of poetic expressions was really a joy to write," says Peebles."It was during some trying times of my life that I received these poems. God's love and faithfulness to me during those times brought me through." "I want to share my love for God with the world;' says Peebles.”I hope that as you read these poems, you will experience God's love for you, and know the sacrifice that Jesus made for you."

DEDICATION

Dedicated First to God

Precious Father God, thank you for all that you have done. You have been so faithful and kind. Now, Abba Father, all that you’ve given me I offer up to you. Please receive my offering as a wave offering. As each page is turned, bless each person with a revelation of your loving kindness. I pray that you will make it reality in their lives through the perfect work of your precious Son; in Jesus’ wonderful name I pray. Amen.

—Alvin Peebles

DEDICATION

To My Family And Friends

This book is dedicated to all the people that so beautifully impacted my life: To my mother, Eunice (whose name means good victory, which she now enjoys in heaven with Jesus), my loving family, natural and spiritual, that supported me through some of the most difficult times of my life, my wonderful children and their families, my aunts, Louise, Helen, Nellie and their husbands, Uncle Sherman and Otha; my Uncle Paul and his wife Aunt Dorothy; my many wonderful cousins, including Vanessa and her husband; my aunts, Edna and Essie Mae—thank you darlings; you believed in me when no one else did—my spiritual family, the Bobbs, the Locketts and the Murrells; along with those who have passed on, by whose prayers I’ve been kept: my grandmothers, Carrie, Georgia, Pearl and Great-Grandma Hattie (as a little boy I used to watch her dance before the Lord; the memory of her praise still affects my life), Big Daddy, Webster Nichols The Preacher, and Fletcher—I thank God for each one of you. For those I didn’t acknowledge (you know who you are), I love you all. May God bless you richly.

—Alvin Peebles
