Enter the realm of the King's daughter and see how a woman's soul is crowned by her King, her Lord, and her Husband. Sally's poems artfully illustrate how to look within and see God's goodness, grace, and mercy. This journey teaches the King's daughter to obey His prompting, see with His eyes, hear with His ears, and feel with His heart, and then she can enter into the heavens with him and experience the mysteries of His kingdom. As you read each poem, you will learn of His passionate love for you and His desire for you to be whole and feel His worth and value over your life. Become the scattered out seeds of His life for others to absorb and reflect on! This book is a personification of the soul as a beautiful woman of God. The daughter of Zion recognizes that her true freedom will come as she learns how to surrender to Him so He can establish her in all areas of life. He so desires for her to become the King's Daughter of Zion. This book of beautiful poetry was birthed out of obedience to the Lord's instruction to Sally to sing over her husband, read the Word together, and encourage each other. "Sally has so wonderfully challenged women to arise and take their place as worshippers of God. This book has flowed out of her heart with compassion and love for all women to take their place and become a daughter of Zion." Rev. Bubba Grimsley, Founder and President of Bubba Grimsley Ministries, Inc., Pastor at International Family Church, Columbia, South Carolina

The third chapter of the Holy Bibles book of Ecclesiastes begins To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven . . . (KJV). This book is but a mere sample of observations made during various times the author experienced or an effort to capture a state of being or mood and express it through poetryas a christian. Being one who has made many mistakes (but acknowledging the Lord in all ways so that God can direct her path), From Beneath The Surface begins with an attempt to state the authors understanding of what Christianity is to her. One of the first few poems admits I Dont Know with regard to where to begin as a christian witness while continuing to seek the Lords purpose for her life. First View gives a brief glimpse of the authors humble beginnings. All poems in between the covers (from Fear to Givin Up) attempts to convey thoughts experienced while passing through situations while outside of Gods will (He Felt That Way One Day, Romantic Fool Unleashed, etc.)having gotten off track (Reality Attack)as well as inside of Gods will. Praying to God with Lord These People Need Help; understanding comes through Love Anyway; then a few philosophical words shared through such poems as Room For All and Grains of Sand. The author ends with the poem Keep the Faith Alive! which confirms that no matter what lies ahead, with faith in God, the Lord will see you through. Heres written proof that even a person with a messed-up life can witness for the Lord when called to do so. Having experienced hurt, abuse, anguish, pain, heartache, deception, discrimination, rejection, etc. (just like everyone else has), after prayerfully reading the Holy Bible, the author has grown to understand that love (in a godly mannerwith patience, kindness, endurance, steadfastness, etc.) is what the christian is supposed to do as Christs representative. Regardless of the situation or circumstance, ones belief, faith and love of God should shine through because With God, all things are possible. Please note that although this compilation was first copyrighted in May 1990, all works were written prior to 1988 and additional material has been added reflective through current situation. With a goal of putting something positive back into her communitywithout stepping on or using others to do so, Karen utilizes God-given talent and ability to interpret her lifes situation. (One could say these works touch on existentialisma philosophy centered upon the analysis of ones existence in the worldwith regard to the authors relationship with God at different times in her life.) Hopefully, this book will be a good representation. From Beneath The Surface is a book written from Karens heart, with her hand and in lovebased on her lifes experiences. As you share, please keep this in mindnothing contained herein is intended to offend any person, place or thing. Hopefully, inspiration to learn and grow in Gods Word, the Holy Bible, will be ignited, lighting the pathway for Jesus love to come into your heart, guiding you through your lifes journey. Read your Holy Bible today, then go out and live the Word! God bless you! In christian love and devotion, Karen Maddox DBA Faith Unlimited Enterprises P.O. Box 3963 Louisville, KY 40201-3963

Excerpt from Jephthah's Daughter and Other Poems If any one were to object to this play on the ground that no modern dramatist ought to take a subject from the Scriptures, I should content myself with saying that such a prohibition would be too broad. It is not applicable alike to all the Jewish Chronicles, and least of all to a mythic story which is to be referred to times when the religion of the Hebrews was in a rudimentary condition, and when the effects of the effort made by Abraham and Moses to lift the Theistic conceptions of their countrymen on to a higher plane had wellnigh died away. Jahveh or Jehovah was little more to Jephthah and the Gileadites than a tribal God of Battles, such as Milcom and Chemosh were to Moab and Ammon. By the time we come to the days of the Prophets, when God had become the universal Creator, the boundless Being whose attributes, besides omnipotence, were love, mercy, pity, forgiveness and fatherhood, who was at once the touchstone and sanction for all hope, desire, and mental outlook, the whole case is altered; then and onwards the literature of the Jews, bound up with their religion, and hardly less with ours, becomes sacrosanct and not to be touched. I have for the foregoing reasons deemed myself at full liberty to deal as I pleased with the story of Jephthah's daughter. I have preserved the main incidents in all their naked cruelty, but I have not scrupled to weave around them the details of a romantic drama.
