My reason for writing this book of inspirational poetry, is in hope for people to be encouraged and to exalt the name of Jesus; that souls might be saved and people will know that God's word is the truth. My hope is for them to see that God answers prayers, Jesus saves, and salvation is in no other name than the name of Jesus. The need for salvation paramounts everything else in this life, because Jesus is soon to come and judgement day is nearer than ever. It's time to repent.

Beowulf the Warrior is an outstanding modern version of the oldest epic in the English language. Ian Serraillier has retold in verse the story of the hero Beowulf and his three memorable exploits - first, his rescuing of Hrothgar the Dane from the ravages of monstrous Grendel; next, his victory over Grendel's strange and horrible mother; and finally, in Beowulf's old age, his saving of his own people, the Geats, from the horrors of a dragon at the cost of his life. Beowulf's heroism and noble heart communicate to any modern listener.
