On Creating Kandice: A Poetic Journey To Spirituality & Self-discovery

"On Creating Kandice: A Poetic Journey To Spirituality & Self-Discovery," chronicles in lyrical form, the story of my life from approximately ages sixteen to twenty-two years of age. The individual poems were organized to read as a story-the story of my struggle with the maturation process; acceptance of the responsibility that comes with the transition into adulthood and specifically womanhood; how I learned to wield its numerous powers; the pain and peace that comes with the submission of one's life to Christ; and ultimately, the balance that must be found in order to succeed as a young adult Christian in this world.

This book is certainly appropriate for the young adult (ages 16-24) who is trying to figure out who they are and what they want out of life. I see this work as being useful to the adult (ages 25-34) who is dealing with the life challenge(s) of reaching that more "settled" state in life; who is seeking self-improvement, a sense of purpose and essentially spiritual direction. Finally, I even see the mature adult (ages 35+), who may have already established and be actively solidifying day-by-day his/her life with Christ, reading this work.
