And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm (Mark 4 KJV). Life is like a stormy sea that often deprives us of our peace. When the waves of adversity attempt to sink us into despair, Jesus comes offering us His words Peace, be still.
Peace on Stormy Seas offers words of encouragement and hope, bringing tranquility and calmness during the storms of life. In her quest for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, Linda Stevenson pulled from her own struggles and victories to pen words of strength, hope and deliverance. Her God-inspired poetry is interspersed with gentle, inspirational words that wrap around one’s heart and explode in powerful messages of healing, hope and peace through our storms in life. Often in times of deep struggle, I’ve read a poem written by Linda Stevenson that is so focused in truth and compassion, I’ve risen from my knees praising God for the message shouted from the pages of her poetry. Whatever your need, whatever your pain, whatever your victory, this book of poetry will speak to your heart in a way that will uplift, restore, and revive. As you read the poems in this collection, you will experience a deep warmth and overwhelming awareness of the presence of God. It is this incredible sense of celebration and praise that will capture your heart each time you read the inspirational poetry in Peace on Stormy Seas. - Twila Briscoe, Proprietor and Ordained Christian Minister.
