The poems in this collection were all written for and submitted as entries into the CDA's National Education Contest beginning in 1999. The author met with significant success in these contests as she received accolades from local, state and national levels for her poems. Although each poem was tailored to a specific theme or designated scripture in the framework of the contest each year, Joy and Peace are recurring themes throughout. Just as the author consistently seeks joy and peace for herself, may these poems help guide you in "Finding Joy Through Grace."
