Rhymes of the Times

By Jessica Rose

Have you ever wanted to explore stories in a world we weren't able to witness? The adventure and the truth that this book brings is beyond compare. In this book, you will get to learn about twenty-six different individuals, all with completely miraculous stories. I encourage you to open your mind and understand what all truly happened in the days that Jesus Christ walked the earth.

This is a starter book to influence adventuring into the Book of Life. Rhymes of the Times has many different inspirations such as Paul, Mariam, Noah, and many more. This book recognizes how these everyday humans put their mark on history. It displays their talents and their uniqueness, just as you and I are talented and unique.

Rhymes of the Times was written for encouragement and motivation for your life, for you to explore your own talents and passions and lead you to understand what God's will for your very own life is.

Acknowledgments

Readers,

Thank you for allowing me to share with you the poetry I wrote about the characters of the Bible. I am honored that God chose to work through me and with me to make such a wonderful tribute to history for all to read. These characters, or shall I say people, no different from you and I, have made their mark and done incredible things, being good and bad, and deserve to be recognized for their adventures. You can be someone to be remembered too when you find your special trade in life. God gave you many gifts. What is your passion?

I would like to give a special thanks to Jennifer Riley, who read every one of my poems as soon as they were finished and offered encouragement for me to continue writing (and feedback on the particular poem she just read). Thanks so much, Jen. You gave me strength to keep going and friendship that was true.

One more special thanks to my mom, Teresa; my daughters, Cloey, McKenzi, and Nya; my grandma Peggy; Papa Jim; and my best friend, James. Thank you all so much for being there for me when no one else was and for never giving up on me or leaving me. I love you. Thank you for believing in me.

Lastly, I would never tell you how to live your life, but if you would allow me to give you a suggestion on reading these, I would suggest reading one poem, referencing it in your Good Book, and then rereading that same
