I'm here for you, I will walk you home."
This book is a compilation of poems inspired by Bible verses. The author has chosen passages from both Old and New Testaments, which are printed on one page, matched with her corresponding original poem on the other page. Her poems range from being upbeat and welcome each new day while others are more introspective or deal with being afraid of what the future may hold.
The poems are written from a Christian viewpoint focusing on God's everlasting love and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Some appear to have originally been written as words to songs as they contain stanzas marked as "chorus" with indications that after a particular verse, the chorus should be repeated.
For Christians who want to include a poem as part of a devotional or meditation, they would have plenty to choose from in this book. The poems are universal in that they do not specify Protestant or Catholic or any denomination within Christianity. The text itself is easy to read. The Bible verses are clearly written and acknowledged from which book, chapter, and verse they appear.
Hendrix has written a book of poems designed to comfort, inspire, and simply help people get through the day. For example, her poem "Let Me Begin" offers general words to help people calm their scattered thoughts in order to pray.
With scattered thoughts, what can I do?
Let me begin by praising You.
The author began writing her poems after an extended Bible study and has continued this practice
