    About this ebook

    Our Father's Words is a collection of just that. Words that center around His grace and Faithfulness, some works encouraged by world events some from personal experiences, Revelation, always full of passion, even some to raise a smile and a nod, and of course, words to celebrate and give thanks for the birth and death of our Saviour. Words and phrases loaded with, and guided by, the Holly Spirit. And all to the supreme glory of Almighty God.

    Our Fathers Words
    Author

    Rita Hopkinson

    I was born in Surrey in 1956. I didn’t have a religious childhood but I grew up knowing God, but not following him. I didn’t have a dramatic event where the Lord revealed Himself to me, he gently invaded my life, until the truth of Him was too strong to deny. I have been writing stories and poems for a long while and although I have only one subject- I have never run out of material! I am married with three grown children and live Bournemouth, Southern England.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
