Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy: Volume 1

By Carla Edwards

The thread throughout this inspiring poetry collection is that, no matter what the problem or situation is, nothing is too big or too small for God to handle.

Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy is a moving collection of poems composed of uplifting spiritual messages from the Lord. Carla Edwards pieced together this unique work under the direction of God; He provided her with the ideas for the titles and topics of the poems, and then the words came freely to her. The messages are clear and concise, having the power to inspire anyone who reads them or hears them read aloud.

From Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places to Everybody in Such a Rush-Do You Know Where You Are Going To?, Edwards considers everyday life and how we find comfort in Gods love and understanding. Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy provides a blessed reassurance that we dont have to go through this life alone.

Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy serves as a prophetic clarion call to men and women to live up to their potential.

Evangelist Lisa Paul

To the children of God: may the Lord our God, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and the Savior of the world—or at least all who would believe on Him—forever bless the youngest of my children, Carla Dawn Edwards.
