Be Encouraged!

By Donna Shaver

About the Book
The times and things going on around us can be very discouraging. This book is a collection of poems meant to encourage people, lift them up, and make their lives a little brighter. Ephesians 2:10 says we are God's workmanship which comes from the Greek word for poem. We are His greatest accomplishment - His masterpiece - His poem. The author’s prayer for all who read these poems is that each person will be encouraged and not lose heart during temptations and trials (Ephesians 3:13, 16) and that they may know the breadth, length, height, and depth of Jesus' love for them (Ephesians 3:18).
