Thank God for Roses: A Collection of Sweet Nothings

By Rosemary Eady-West,

Thank God for Roses: A Collection of Sweet Nothings is a message of love and joy. It is also an expression of pain and sorrow for the loss of loved ones. This body of work is inspired by the author's faith in Christ, love for family, and appreciation for the sweet nothings of life.

In addition to being her namesake, the author views the rose as one of God's perfect gifts of love to us. While the splendor of a single rose may be overlooked, when collected into a bouquet, they become more widely adored or appreciated. As a gift of inspiration and comfort, the author offers each poem in this collection as a rose to her readers. She encourages her readers to be strong in faith, despite the trials of life, and to be reminded of God's love--not only did He give us his only begotten Son, but He also gave us the rose.
