Poems of Encouragement

A MUST HAVE!!!!!

SEEKING SOLACE IS A SPECTACULAR BOOK!! I purchased this book from the bookstore on campus and immediately I started reading it. Seeking Solace is such an inspirational book to have. It has truly inspired me. Within the same day of me buying this book, I had purchased another copy as a gift. I find myself relating to SS more than any other book that I have read prior to this one. I am blessed to have SS in my collection. Eric L. Farrell and Will Holmes, Jr. really outdid themselves with this one. I am truly looking forward to the next one.

Very Inspirational

When I first received this book at Virginia State, I did not read it until 2 months later,and it really moved my spirit. It is a blessing to see and hear a African American man, preaching and teaching the wonders of God. This book is great for self and even better a a gift.

view from a casual poetry fan

I had purchased the book at a Barnes and Noble store on campus during one of the author's book signings. I had been going through a difficult time as everyone has at some point and thought it would be an interesting read. I am not a particularly strong christian but I always enjoy seeing things from different perspectives. In fact, you probably don't need to be a christian, nor do you even have to be a particularly big poetry fan to appreciate the powerful poems contained within the book. The author does not lament his own suffereng as suggested by other reviewers, but rather shares his own personal experiences in demonstrating how he has been able to deal with them. There is not a single person that can't learn something from this book. My personal favorite is "Fear Less." Highly Recomended.
