Higher and Other Poems of Faith

It’s been said that a man must first move himself before he can move the hearts of others. In this faith-based collection, Steven Manchester not only intends to capture the thoughts of his readers, but aspires to touch their souls as well. Within Higher and Other Poems of Faith, the author discovers that joy is not actually found in answering life’s great questions, but rather in asking. It’s the journey that inspires the poetry within, not the idea of actually finishing the trip.Throughout Higher and Other Poems of Faith, both verse and prose are unified in a hopeful theme and tone. Having drawn inspiration from family, friends and the kindness of strangers, Manchester maintains his deliberately simplistic style of expression. He prefers that his readers search their mind and heart rather than being forced to dissect and analyze each poem’s meaning. And it is the human heart for which he aims.
