Anthology (noun) a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing Words-sewn together into a tapestry of stories-can transform lives, hearts, souls, and minds. Words possess the power to move the immovable, recount the indisputable, and bring life to the disreputable. Today’s culture would have you believe it takes a thousand words to equal a picture. In this book, we challenge that belief. A life story can be captured in a seventeen-syllable haiku. Deep moments of transformation and restoration can be painted throughout passages of ardor and strength-a river of words bringing healing, love, and joy through the seasons of life. This anthology is a powerful collection of short stories and poems written by the women of Abba’s Writers: a Christian writers group.
