Bøger af Richard Martin II

This book was written by divine inspiration that came through a dream. The dream was an answer to a need in the life of the author. It was proof that dreams can be relevant and address the daily lives, wants, needs and fears of anyone. For this reason, the author believes it is important to pay attention to dreams. Shortly after the dream the author, who had never written poetry, discovered this new ability. To test this newly discovered talent, the author randomly chose various mundane subjects to write about and found that he could turn any subject into a poem. Then he began to use Bible verses as inspiration and made them the main focus of his poetry. That was when he discovered the reason for his poetry. His former wife, who passed away several years ago, was in need of encouragement and comfort, so most of the poetry was written to her.About the AuthorThe author was born and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
