The Heart Of The Matter: A Book Of Poems

In "The Heart of the Matter," Judith Lynn Fisher celebrates faith, family, and love. These thirty-six poems will touch your heart. The verses in this collection will inspire and uplift even the most discouraged in the toughest of times. For instance, in "You Are Not Forsaken," Fisher writes: "Sometimes it seems, to our dismay,
our burdens do abound.
There's no apparent helping hand,
though you're searching all around. But in these times of turmoil,
trace the corners of your soul,
and there you will discover
that God's touch will make you whole." And everyone will enjoy "Cajun Witch," which tells the story of a man who sets out to sea to find his lost love. On the way, he must do battle with a voodoo princess. Fisher writes: "In his hand I placed a dagger,
by imagination, this is true .
for he really held no weapon
but the strength of love he knew. For he knew not . but I knew sure,
that true love would win through all,
and he plunged right in the middle
not knowing this at all." Experience a powerful range of emotions with this fantastic collection that gets straight to "The Heart of the Matter,"
