Review of Temperature of Art


Fantastic Poetry!





This book, by T. Ponder contains a beautiful collection of poems. They are short, but they convey the writer's passion for life. I must admit one of the poems I didn't like, but just because I didn't, it doesn't mean you won't. The overall collection of poetry was superb. I laughed at one in particular. I won't say too much because it woyld be a spoiler alert. All I will say it has a surprise within it. Here's one of the poems from this interesting book:

Poem; "Wonder Woman"

All of a sudden you're bleak
I wonder what made you change
The qualities I used to see
In you still remain
Seems genuineness is detained
I wonder what made you change
Stress, makeup, or confidence
Looks aren't everything
Although you have them
Personality is key, you got it
Confident, less makeup, no stress
Small measures with no progress
Life is like a quest
Woman I wonder where we could go

There's a couple of short stories near the end of the book. One of which is about the author. They were pretty good, but not necessarily my cup of tea. However, this doesn't mean other people won't like it. By the way, Mr. Ponder has persevered through tough times in his life, such as the lost of is mom to cancer. To quote from his bio: "T. Ponder writes to touch readers through realism, insight, and humor. Covering topics such as: love, depression, achievement, and life experience." He's certainly an indie author who's on the rise! Overall I'd say this book is a must read.

Inspirational Poem: Selfish

Selfish

I am selfish, I try not to be but I am.
I guess its part of my sin nature to be selfish.
I don't want to help others unless there's something in it for me.
All I can think about is myself.
All I care about is three people: me, myself, and I.
The world teaches us to be selfish;
Go for yours and do anything to get yours,
No matter whom you hurt even if it's yourself.
I am selfish; I only want to do what pleases me.
I am selfish; I can't stop writing about myself in this poem.
How can I stop being selfish?
Oh I know learn from the teachings of Christ, Who was selfless and not selfish.
He gave His life for us so that we may live forever with Him.
There is nothing that He won't do for us.
That's who I should be more like,
Like Christ so I can become selfless and stop being so selfish...
This poem is apart of the poetry chapbook "Cordell's Poems of Spiritual Inspiration: Second Edition" which is available as an ebook and paperback.

Review of "Let's Finish the Game"


A Compelling Book!





This book is a great read. It's comprised of multiple short stories covering different genres such as horror and sci-fi. Let's Finish the Game is a well written and thought out book of Christian fiction! There are a few grammatical errors here and there. The page numbers are missing, but don't let that deter you from a spectacular book. Besides, the stories are short and easy to find, not to mention keeping you on pins and needles. This author is as talented as the great horror writers out today. I won't name the writers. You know who they are. I won't give any spoilers. I will say that there are twists and turns throughout this fantastic piece of writing. The stories are so descriptive you can just picture what the character, scenes, and everything else would look like, act like and etc. It's the kind of book they make short films out of.

In the words of the author: "The first of its kind: A book featuring action, drama, horror, romance, sci-fi, comedy, suspense, thrills, chills, and spills! This book will keep you entertained to the very end." My sentiments exactly. So I highly recommend this book.

Ebony: A Christian with Many Talents

Ebony: Passionate for Jesus



I wanted to change things a bit for this particular post. Let me introduce you to Ebony, a believer of Christ who is beautiful, brilliant, and has many talents like being a singer, songwriter, and comedienne. Her music is a combo of alternative, rock, soul, r&b and gospel. Her music is not to be confined to one genre so no need to put her in a box. Her music glorifies Christ and soothes the soul, kind of like David playing the Harp for King Saul. Well I'll let her music do the talking. Check out this video called Metamorphsis:

Christian Poem: "God Is..."

God Is...
God is...omniscient which means He is all-knowing
He knows what we will do before we do it.
God is...omnipresent
He is everywhere,
We can't hide from God.
God is...Omnipotent
He is all-powerful
There's no limit to His power.
God is...The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit
He is The Father of Heaven, earth, creation and
The unique Father of Christ.
He is The Son who died for our sins and rose
To prepare a place in heaven for all believers.
He is The Holy Spirit that dwells in the hearts of believers
Constantly molding us into the image of Christ.
God is...magnificent, wonderful, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
God is...love.
He has a love that outweighs our faults,
A redeeming love that forgive us of our sins.
We are more valuable than money or gems.
We are priceless to Him.
There are not enough words to describe God's awesome love, power, and
Glory
In short, God is...end of story.
This poem is apart of the poetry chapbook "Cordell's Poems of Spiritual Inspiration: Second Edition" which is available as an ebook and paperback.

Poem: "The Bread of Life"

The Bread of Life
 
Who is this Bread of Life?
Jesus Christ is this Bread of Life.
A person shall never thirst or hunger by believing in this Bread of Life,
As Jesus once said in John 6:35.
This Bread of Life can do more than just get a person by in this life.
This Bread of Life can give us eternal life.
This Bread of Life can nourish us,
Strengthen us and allow us to grow and flourish,
This Bread of Life will never stale, mold, or perish.
This Bread of Life can save our souls,
This Bread of Life is more than enough for everyone
So don't worry about receiving crumbs,
So may I ask who wants some?
Some of this Bread of Life that can give us eternal life.
So who is The Bread of Life?
Jesus Christ is The Bread of Life.
