Religious Poetry

Life goes in a circle from birth to death. Life can lead us down a depressed path, resulting in addictions and darkness. Losing loved ones reminds us how precious life can be. We share drinks, smiles, and laughs with friends. People come and go throughout our lives, leaving lessons we either learn or live by. This book is exactly that. Life met head-on.

This is no ordinary poetry book. The poems inside do not "wax poetic" in the descriptive or romantic sense; instead they have a powerful purpose and effect: they are active, and they do something—which is why they are called "Power-Poems". These Power-Poems provide steps to liberation that—if the listener follows and works with—will come to know a freedom unsurpassed.

In Sticks and Stones, DeVries paints a poetic picture of love found and love lost and rising above toxicity, delving into what it means to find strength in the human spirit.

Each one of these poems is infused with positive energy and given marching orders to reach those who need it most. There are common themes throughout but it is my heart's desire that one of them touches your soul and inspires you to make an amazing change in your life.

Many never find it, but I promise it's there, waiting to be discovered, and maybe one of these poems helps you do just that.

I Wonder, Can You See Me? was birthed through life's trials, tribulations, success, joy, and God's liberation. It is a collection of inspirational poetry that set me free, which allows me to share my journey with those who are wondering if they are seen and, most of all, with those that need to see within. I found myself through this journey when I realized God was and is with me always. God allowed me to see myself through my darkest hours, he walked with me when I was in dry places, he whispered to me when I was in the lowest valleys, and he held me in his arms when I was on the mountaintop.

Writer Rodney Walker paints an engaging portrait of disillusioned high school teens struggling both academically and existentially. In a final attempt to help the students graduate, a radical new biblically based course in home economics is offered, introducing life-changing lessons about family, faith, relationships, and purpose.

This story reveals practical applications to family life and friendships that run in stark contrast to a fatherless pop culture.

El amor algunas veces es tan complicado como impredecible. Pero al final lo que más valoramos son los detalles más simples, los más bonitos, los que llegan sin avisar. Y a la hora de escribir sobre sentimientos, no hay nada más limpio que hacerlo desde el corazón. Y eso hace Defreds en "Casi sin querer".

Un uomo scrive lettere al suo amore. E appunti, riflessioni, scoperte. Lei ballerina, lui poeta, condividono un destino, entrambi conoscono la ricerca del ritmo, l'equilibrio nel gesto, la tensione verso la libertà e l'arte come ubbidienza. Un libro composto quasi in trance, un viaggio nella bellezza che incontra pensieri di coreografi, storie tra danza e poesia, riflessioni di filosofi, visioni. Un libro mai scritto prima d'ora sulla danza e la poesia: due arti da sempre sorelle. Ritmo e parole. Aver corpo, in un'epoca che ha fatto del corpo un segno di molti disagi.

விடியாமல் போகும் இரவைப் பற்றி நான் யோசித்துக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறேன். மரணம் என்பது அவனுக்கான உலகம் அழிவதைத் தவிர வேறில்‍லை. பிறந்ததிலிருந்து நாம் உடலுக்குத்தான் அதி முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுக்கிறோம்.

La maledizione del fico raccontata nei Vangeli di Marco e di Matteo è, insieme all'uccisione dei porci, uno dei rari miracoli che si risolvono con effetti negativi. Ma se la morte dei porci precipitati da un crepaccio libera un indemoniato, la maledizione del fico non porta alcun vantaggio. Gesù è a Betania, si sveglia affamato e si mette a cercare i frutti tra le foglie di un fico rigoglioso. Non trovandone, lo condanna alla sterilità eterna. Al di là dell'apparente insensatezza, che significato teologico dobbiamo dare a questa maledizione? Che mistero nasconde?

Ephesians 6 tells us that we are fighting against spiritual forces in heavenly realms. It also says to put on the whole armor of God in order to defeat these forces. Most Christians don’t like to talk about demons and unclean spirits, let alone admit they may actually have a few inside of them. The problem is that if we don’t face this truth, we will never walk in the freedom Christ died to give us. Isn’t that just sad?
