Philadelphia Proverbs (eBook, ePUB)

Wisdom and Everyday Life

Beschreibung

Words are written to mold, make and re-shape the reader. There is a basic blueprint to ones soul designed by his Maker. Things sympathetic to the souls blueprint tend to disturb and excite centers of awareness in the reader. It is for this reason that when an extraordinary gift is on public display countless souls will beat a path to its door. The singers voice, an athletes physical prowess in action on the playing field, the stroke of an artists brush upon the canvass, and yes, also words on parchment. The audience draws from the gift of words 'something' that excites and revitalizes their inner being. Words that transcend the ordinary plateau of a mans thoughts elevate his being. Philadelphia Proverbs may accomplish just that.

Autor

In the 1980's the author's poetry was repeatedly featured in a major Philadelphia newspaper's "Poetry Corner". Several short articles of his, dealing with various political issues of the time were also featured there. In 1989 four of his poems were included in the "American Poetry Anthology" volume IX, Number 4, published by Robert Nelson. In the mid 2000's back-to-back editions of "The International Who's Who In Poetry", Howard Ely Editor, featured two of the author's works. Out of the two-hundred poetry selections appearing in each of the editions, both of the author's poems, one appearing the one year and the other the next, were chosen to be the first poem featured on page number one in each edition.

Born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and raised by christian grandparents, as a small child the author was very curious-minded. Heavily influenced by his christian up-bringing the author often delved, even at a young age, into his grandfather's small library of books on christian subject matter. He often sat before his grandfather, the pastor of a small church, absorbing the many sermons and subject matter poured out from his grandfather's pulpit. After completing high school, he attended college, but after a few years quit abruptly. There was a deep-seated hunger for the answer to questions on religion and God that had plagued him all his life. At this stage in his life he was convinced of two things: That there was a God who controlled all things, and that there was a path to God accessible to all men. He believed that if a man would sincerely seek he would find a performance of the miraculous works Jesus promised with his words, "... the works that I do, shall he do also; ..." John 14:12 kjv. Philadelphia Proverbs is a summation of the author's search for the God he always knew to be real.
