Book Description

The book Jesus Is My Rose was inspired by the poetry that was revealed to me when I was visiting the hospital but its content is base on Gods revelation, which was received through the scriptures and in my personal experiences. Gods word is vividly described through Gods revelation, my personal experience and the scriptures (KJV). Jesus Is My Rose will help us to find ourselves when we are lost in our situations and lead us into a place where God can give us peace to stand still in the strength of his mighty Spirit. When we are in an adverse place this book will encourage us to move into the place of victory that God has prepared for us. The emphasis is on the disobedience of the flesh and how it interferes with our reconciliation to God. This book was inspired when I was visiting the Carroll County Hospital in Huntingdon Tennessee (1992). I didnt know how to offer inspiration to the patients and I was becoming discouraged from the mission. I prayed for a solution and as a result the first poem Jesus Is My Rose was written. I would pray every Monday for the Lord to give me a poem. On Tuesday I would take it to my sister to copy it and on Wednesday I would go into the hospital from room to room, reading the poem to the patients as I distributing them. The poems became a book of about 21. My dad had always told me to copy write and publish my poems but I didnt know how. I had made the poems into a small book and they were inspirational for me from time to time over the years. I was working as a nurses assistant in the same hospital some years later. I would offer the book of poems to some of the patients when they were discharged. One lady commented on the poems and she said it was kind of monotonous to read poem after poem. Then I began to work on the Cause For Inspiration but I never got too far because it required a lots of work. As more years had passed, I matured in the word as the Lord walked with me through many situations. A friend of mine, who was touched by the poems, stayed on me to do something with them so I looked up publishing on the Internet. I became serious about the Cause For Inspiration and the Call to Worship but once again I stopped short of my destination. Satan began to buffet me with a vengeance. I felt like Jonah. I was running from God and it was time to stop running or face the consequence. I chose to stop running and finish this book. The books name Jesus Is My Rose comes from the first poem. The red rose represents a gift of love and reconciliation. This book is intended to inspire Gods most prized creation to receive/confirm the gift that represents Gods love and be reconciled to the father.
