From the Cradle to Cross

This collection of 150 original poems explores the profound events surrounding the annunciation, birth, death, and resurrection of our Lord. With 63 poems dedicated to the Christmas story and 87 focusing on Easter, these works reflect on the two most pivotal events in human history. The birth of Christ marks a significant division in the timeline of natural history, shaping calendars worldwide. While some modernists prefer the term B.C.E. (Before the Common Era) over B.C. (Before Christ), it inevitably leads to the same fundamental question: What event initiated the "Common Era?" The Cross and the Resurrection signify a crucial turning point in the spiritual realm, fulfilling God's plan for the eternal salvation of mankind. "It is finished!" This collection offers a diverse range of themes and styles, much like the variety of music found on a radio station. It's the author's hope that these poems resonate deeply with you. While most of the poems are serious in nature, a few are lighthearted. This collection caters to various age levels; while the majority is intended for mature readers, several are written with children in mind. May these poems bless you in your relationship with the Lord. If they inspire any contemplation about the two greatest events in our Christian experience, they will have fulfilled their purpose.
