Poetry 'N Praise...Creative Devotions

By Lenore C Uddyback-Fortson

Poetry n Praise is more than just a book of poetry, it is an
act of worship. Each poetic off ering is a refl ection of the
authors journey, and shares the highs, lows, daily frustrations,
temptations and complete awe often faced by those who begin and
continue a Christian walk. Each piece is encased by scripture taken
from one of the most poetic books of the Bible, the Psalms. At the
heart of this work lies devotion to a Loving Savior.
