Pieces of Peace Christian, Inspirational, And Motivational Poems

This is a book written from the deep soul of my desire to express my gratitude for the Lord and all that he has done for me. First and foremost of how He "brought me out of darkness, into the marvelous light". I believe this book will be a tremendous source of inspiration and encouragement for finding joy, hope, strength, motivation, as well as inspiration in these very difficult times, when people need, and want to find peace. I believe the Lord gave me the gift of writing poetry, to give hope to the lost, the unloved, and for someone who may not know that, Christ is the way. Also this book is designed to be a catalyst for obtaining peace in our daily individual lives, in our marital relationships, and the way to obtain a closer walk with the Father. I decided many years ago that I wanted to make a difference in the world, but I didn't know how. I also realized when I was going through a difficult time, I would write a poem, expressing my personal turmoil, but because I did not give into that despair, the Lord would always reveal Himself in the most profound way. As a result, when I would share that poem, it did the same for others. That's when I decided that I would keep writing, knowing that if I could experience peace through my writings, and when I shared them, it brought them peace, I knew I was making a difference in the world, one poem, one person, one day at a time, thanks to my Lord and Savior. I am merely the pen, He is the ink, and the one who guides my hand!

Lorann was born in Memphis, TN., but lived three years in West Palm Beach FL; three and one-half years in Baltimore, MD; and four years in Nashville, TN. She returned to Memphis in 1990. She wrote her first poem- "The Greatest Defeat"- in her 11th grade English class and has continued writing poetry for over 36 years. Lorann enjoys writing and reciting her poetry. She states, " These poems were written in relationship to real life experiences. My desire is that these poems will inspire, encourage, uplift, motivate, and bring you into a closer walk with the Lord, as they did for me. Writing poetry, throughout my journey, each piece I wrote brought me peace, thus derived the title of this book, Pieces of Peace. I have come to realize that what we desire most is peace, and my prayer is that this book will bring you, "Pieces of Peace".
