People of God - One and All Come and Be ... Part I - Edith Close-Vaziri - Bog

Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching. In her first book People of God - One and All: Saints and Sinners, different aspects of being a saint and a sinner were explored. In both parts of this new anthology, the poetry includes a variety of topics for meditation and self- reflection. In People of God-One and All: Come and Be…, Part 1 she explores the concept of grace, relationships, and sacred struggles. In Part 2 she explores this through the wonder of God, the production of fruits evolving through faith, and how to be bold in faith. Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out one's faith. Scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on one's faith and how to mature oneself and share faith with others.
In retirement, she quilts with many being made for philanthropy projects locally and around the world. Additionally, she reads, does genealogy, and actively participates in church activities.
