    About this ebook

    BEFORE THE COSMIC KING OF GLORY:  POEMS - STORIES - PRAYERS

     

    I set out to write this for my wife... and I did.

     

    She said I should publish it so that others could enjoy it too... and so here it is.

     

    The Cosmic King of Glory is -- Jesus. He is the ultimate emphasis and focal point of it all.

     

    I wrote this as a husband who wanted to encourage his wife and point her always to the King of kings and Lord of lords.

     

    My aim was to lift her gaze heavenward towards the cosmic King of glory.

     

    As a husband, and as her brother in Christ, it's not only my duty to do so, but a joy, for I know that is where she is most satisfied.
