The Gift of God's Word: Spiritual Poetry of God's Word

By D. Ferris Arfaa

“Oh, Lord, tell me!How was His body when He ascended to Your heavenly center?Was He brightly magnificent in holiness prepared to heaven enter?Was He clothed in purity and devotion, though stripped by our sin?Was He wearing goodness and sanctity as He entered therein?”

From the poem “His Body,” the eminently spiritual poetic verse from the pen of D. Ferris Arfaa contains the meaning and effect for which so many people are searching today.

Guided by the intent of divine inspiration, the author's collection of verse, The Gift of God's Word, is just that: a magnificent gift!

Realized from scripture, this book contains poems that reflect on the teachings and life of Jesus Christ as revealed in the gospels of Luke and Matthew.

They are invented to uplift, educate, and illuminate God's love and the power of faith, while establishing and understanding the way toward salvation. And that's the best gift of all!
