New Testament in Poetry

The author takes major events described in the King James New Testament and restates them in poetic, rhyming verse. Each poemdealing with the life of Christ, his disciples, and his followersheightens the spiritual inspiration of each chosen passage. The primary thrust of the foundational verses, as well as the poetry based upon them, is mans personal encounters with Jesus, angels, and human messengers. Because salvation is the continual theme, the poems possess a distinctly evangelistic tone. Pastors, teachers, and other speakers will find the verses useful to be cited as heart-piercing restatements of biblical passages or to illustrate famous pivotal incidents that occurred during New Testament times. Each poem is written to be recited and thereby serve to create a greater spiritual impact for sermons, lessons, and speeches.
