babamarusia's review of Poems of Faith: I recommend this book
Yesterday I used one of the poems (The Larger Prayer by Ednah Dow Cheney) in this book as a devotional at the beginning of the afternoon Bible study that I lead. Many of the poems are prayers. With some of the poems the reader needs to "listen" to the text very carefully as they are presented as written, and language use in the 1500s is not the same as language use today. I don't wish to cause any hindrance, though, because every poem in this small, inexpensive book is worthy of being used as inspirational, prayer and devotional material. Also in included are a few of the Psalms.

The book is suitable for the Christian homeschooling family, and for those who appreciate classic writings in general. The book is economically priced. The material is in public domain, but by the time you found all of this poetry by so many poets, and then used your paper and ink-- well, at that point you will have spent more than this edition's retail price--and here on our website we offer it to you with a discount!
