The One That God Built: A Book of Poems

By Steve Johnson

At any given moment, God will place in front of me a tableau of magnificent power. What I see and feel may not truly be the actual view but a vision that He has implanted in my mind. It is in these moments that the urge to share my vision occupies all my energy. Thus evolved what is inside these covers. On these pages are life, truth, and my love for those around me as I see it.
