Psalms of Freedom
Author: Joseph H.K.A. Espinda Jr.
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
How can a broken soul find his way to a better life? He can’t! But through Jesus Christ all things are possible and reachable. The reason for writing this book isn’t to save anyone because I cannot save a single person – only Jesus can. The reason for the book is to help others by sharing experiences about abuse, bad habits, alternative lifestyles, addiction, and depression to show that all these things can be overcome and replaced with true joy and freedom. I have written many psalms (poems) during my journey, and they are sprinkled throughout the chapters. They are meant to stir the heart and spark the imagination into believing that there is a greater force beyond us that longs to embrace us with truth, peace, and love. Songs and poems can create powerful visuals and tap into the human soul to promote an awakening not previously recognized. That awakening is the power and light of Christ. The psalms speak of my heart and how the love of the Savior changes hearts and changes lives and changes perspectives. My greatest perspective change is my identity and how I am seen by the Lord – I am a child of God. As His child, I can step out in faith knowing that God is always near no matter where I have been or where I am going. The same is available to anyone – no matter what.
