Book Overview
Debut poet and devout Christian Kilgore attests that although he penned the poems in his ecclesiastic collection, "God is the true author," and that the purpose of his poetry is to "bind hearts back to God" so that his readers may find their own connection to Christ. Kilgore is most successful in this ambitious endeavor when he dramatizes his own spiritual euphoria, like in "Latter Rain," which builds to these potent declarations: "This feeling that enraptured me // And shook my whole of frame, // Was God descending on my soul // His spirit's Latter Rain." Kilgore also includes plenty of material beyond his experience with Christ in The Spirit's Call." Readers who can excuse some typographical errors will find his poetry to be accessible yet expansive in encapsulating the breadth of human experience, especially for those who follow the Christian faith.
Joel has been writing poetry for over four decades. His poetry, as he claims, is from a gift of God that transcends and binds any recipients to God. He feels that he is merely a vessel and not the true author of verse. Though told from many that he is talented, he claims to not have any poetry talent, but all poetry derives from a spiritual gift. It is this gift that he wishes to share with the world.
