These are the poems I have written throughout my youth. They deal with love, heartbreak, hope, hopelessness, redemption, loss and other common human emotions. They are heartfelt and are sure to provoke thought. I welcome the reader to immerse himself/herself in these poems and connect to them on a profound level. Also included is a semi-autobiographical short story.
A unique blend of poetry and philosophy where every poem is complemented with a commentary in the form of a story or narration which explains the intended meaning behind it. The book is divided into three parts. The first part speaks of a man who reaches the abode of God where he questions the nature of existence and inquires into the reasons for his suffering. The second part includes the thoughts of the common man which circle his head everyday. The third part is God himself recalling his own experiences which sometimes haunted even the divine.
A child is born who fails to take his first breaths. Overcome with anguish, Ethan, the village physician and constable, who is also knowledgeable in the ways of magic, transfers his son's newborn soul into the body of his daughter's beloved cat, Ghost. There, the child is safely kept until Ethan is able to find a suitable body for his son to inhabit. The harrowing predicament soon becomes a moral dilemma, for both Ethan and his wife Abigail, who only have until the aging cat departs this world. All the while, the family is plagued by gossip and suspicion at the hands of their superstitious neighbors. Will Ethan cave beneath the weight of his confliction and allow his son to pass into the afterlife, as nature intended? Or will an unexpected opportunity allow him to give the child the long and happy life that fate cruelly denied him?

Life is filled with uncertainty, and people have never needed peace more. When it comes down to it, what keeps us from experiencing peace in our lives is either living in the past or living for the future. When we obsess over what's already happened or put all of our efforts into creating a picture-perfect tomorrow, we miss what God has for us here and now. The result is regret over what we can't change, and anxiety over what we feel we must change. That's not what God wants for us. With honest transparency, hope-filled compassion, and plenty of vulnerable humor, pastor Jeanne Stevens reveals the shockingly simple path to peace: presence. She helps you slow down, center yourself, and ask the all-important question, What's here now? Jeanne gives readers practical tools to move from obsessing about the past or worrying about the future to experiencing peace and purpose in the present moment. By incorporating this simple question into your everyday life, you will experience freedom from unhealthy patterns of relating to God and others through the avenues of shame, guilt, worry, and anxiety.

Let your soul feel is setting your soul free to pursue what it actually wants. It may be the inexpressible dreams that we limit within ourselves or may be the daunting task that intimidate us to perform. It portrays that we shouldn't hang ourselves in a sophisticated toils of society rather setting our soul free to live the moment we love, to cherish the colloquial spirit with inner peace embroidered to burn our eyes in the pyre of our sacrifices and efforts to acheive our dreams... Soul is where our love is most alive. The soul longs for a deeper love, for a connection between form and formlessness, for a continuum between the earth and the divine.. Soul, why in slumber, Let that expose. Let the fragrance be intermittent...Rejoice the odd... Feel the real you...
Being raised by a family of very strict religious beliefs, I was forced to live a childhood of imprisonment and boredom. I had to listen to a preacher every week ramble on about the war between God and Satan to wreak havoc on my soul. At the age of four I had my first encounter with a demon. I know the apparition that appeared before me was sent by the Devil himself. Thus, leading me into temptation and poisoning my thoughts. This threw me into a state of confusion which in-turn started the battle between good and evil within me. Thereafter I begun to rebel against all that was instilled in my mind. To this day I still vividly remember what I experienced that night. At the age of fourteen I met a man named Jack Redenuis who influenced me to transform the conflicting thoughts running through my head into words. One afternoon I was relaxing in my room, listening to the radio when I decided to take his advice. I began to write. It was then I realized how right he was. By putting feelings and thoughts on paper, ones reconciliation becomes plain and simple.
