My name is Julie Clark and I am from Kent, United Kingdom. I am a born again Christian and I am married with grown up. I have been writing poetry since I was sixteen when I moved away from my parents’ home for the first time to a job at a Christian conference Centre where I lived and worked. I was very nervous but made it through the first day, in the evening we went to a Christian concert with Adrian Snell and one of the songs touched me deeply and that evening I went back to the center and listened to it in my room and I felt peace, then I got two sentences in my mind and they kept rolling around in my brain and would not go away so I decide to write them down and that is when the rest of it came and my new poem was born and so was a gift that is precious to me and stayed with me for over 30 years. I won’t say it has been an easy ride but I have always known the Love of Jesus in my life even when I walked away for a year he never left my side. I would like to share with you the poems that the Lord has blessed me with, I pray that they will touch your hearts and encourage you and maybe even challenge you. But my biggest prayer and hope is that the Glory, Honour and Praise goes to my everlasting Saviour, Lord and King. When I felt led to write this book God led me to these bible verses. Ephesians: 5 v 19 says Speak one to another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord. This book will be written in four different sections Prayer, Promises, praise and parables. this was a real encouragement to me as these are such foundations of the Christian faith. So with joy in my heart, my prayer is that God will light up your soul with the love and power of Jesus which shines through those who believe.
