The Inspiration of a sermon can linger in the air, and when captured in poetry, is held fast in the mind.
Soft music like words, flows through the mindThe preacher gently speaks words not in rhyme.Held fast in my heart to trust and obey With truth in the rhyme, His words will stay.
Anne's love of poetry began in an unexpected way. During church services, she found herself rewriting familiar hymns and songs that repeated the same chorus, creating new verses
instead. On more than one occasion, people commented on how diligently she seemed to be taking notes during her husband's sermons. They were surprised to discover that she
was actually writing poetry rather than sermon notes.
Over time, Anne found that transforming the messages she heard into poems helped her remember the truths of Scripture-much like a song that stays in your mind long after
it has been sung. What began as a simple habit has grown into a treasured way of reflecting on God's Word. After years of refining and tinkering with her poems, she has been
encouraged by many who have asked for copies of her work.
Anne's prayer is that God will use both this book and the ministry it supports for His glory. She leaves you with the words of missionary Jim Elliot:
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.
