    About this ebook

    To Every Thing There Is a Season is a collection of original poetry that draws inspiration from Nature and Christian faith. Often these themes combine as the author reflects on the relation of Nature to its Creator or joins with Creation in praising God. The poems are divided into four sections, each dedicated to a season of the year--spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In addition to poems investigating the particular joys of the season, each section also includes poems on the Christian holidays celebrated during that season. With poems ranging from serious to humorous, challenging to delightful, this collection offers opportunities for reflection and relaxation.
