Jayton's Book of Poetry: Inspirational and Secular

By John Farrell

The purpose behind the writing of this book is twofold; one, is to show that even though some may not believe that there's a God, that personally I do. And I also believe that everything that presently exist on the earth and above the earth, was created by Him. Second, it is my hope that this inspirational book along with its secular content would be a means of enlightening the minds of those who truly need hope in their life. It will also endeavour to show, that apart from God, we as human beings are helpless to save ourselves spiritually. Our only hope then, is in the Son of God who gave his life, so that all of us can live. Hence, I thank Him for the inspiration that he has given me to compile these poems-THANK YOU God !-And thanks also to those friends and family alike whose interest I have gained throughout the years. My prayer is that all who read it's pages, may find hope and comfort in their life. GOD BLESS!
