The Road to the Cross Leads Home

By Faye Stewart

You are invited on a journey. It begins with an open heart

You can walk the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, be refreshed with living water at a well in Samaria or go fishing on the Sea of Tiberias with your friends where, after a hard nights toil catching nothing, you find breakfast waiting as you head back to shore

Watch as a young mother thinks she has lost her son twice; once, when he was a lad and later when he was cut down in the prime of his life. If you believe in miracles this will lift you to the highest

Catch a glimpse of a fathers emotions as his eyes follow his rebellious son leaving home to find new life in a foreign country. Lifes circumstances cause a change in the boys heart; well, youll have to read the rest of the story to see how it ends

This journey is personal and life changing if you are willing to take the chance. When you choose to walk this road, which is narrower than all others, you will find yourself heading Home. And the good news is One who will love you forever waits to welcome you with open arms!

Faye Stewart

This composition of poetry by Faye Stewart was inspired by her strong Christian faith. These poems are brief enough to give the readers a moment of reflection and clarity on an element of faith. They can turn to scripture citations noted at the beginning of each poem, and by doing so, they can easily add the book to a daily devotional practice or find a moment of solace in their God in the middle of a hectic day. Faye’s first book of poetry is titled The Road to the Cross Leads Home. She is thankful to the Lord for granting her the opportunity to write a second volume of poems inviting readers to meet him at the cross. She lives in Sandston, Virginia and is blessed by her sons, grandsons and grand-daughter, her sister, and dear friends— all gifts from God.
