Ever since Jesus Christ saved me, I have been writing poetry that I believe glorifies Him. My heart's desire is to share it with others. I feel there is a need for people to develop a clear view on God's holiness, mankind's sinful nature, and Jesus Christ's love for sinful humans, which is supremely displayed in his atonement on the cross. I believe that the modern church in America is straying away from the true gospel and I long to see reformation. Due to all of these passions, I wrote this book. Many of my poems are based on either the atoning work of Jesus Christ, mankind's sinful nature, and personal testimonies of my conversion. In this age of postmodernism, many people are turning away from doctrine and absolute truth and turning to skepticism, relativism, and universalism. In this book, I intentionally confronted and opposed that type of postmodern thought in order to set a foundational biblical worldview. I also wrote about evolution and atheism. My experiences at school have often times inspired to write to get things off of my chest. I see a new of generation of minds that are developing a worldview that sharply contrasts with the gospel of Jesus Christ. America is now in a post-Christian era. I wrote this poetry in hopes of getting people to see things from God's viewpoint revealed to us in the Holy Bible, so that some might come to saving knowledge of the truth of the gospel. Soli deo Gloria!
