In this collection, her first, Irina Dimitric ponders over her journey through life, from childhood in her wartime homeland to migrating to Australia in 1964. Her poems reveal her dreams and disappointments, joy and pain, the value of forgiveness and gratitude, her love of nature and her love of laughter without which, she maintains, life would be unbearable.

This volume by the author of “The Bible in Verse” has each of the people who feature in the story of Jesus’ ministry give their own perspective of what it was like to walk and talk with Jesus, or to lead the church in the first century. There were thirteen disciples, and many such as Paul, Barnabas, Luke and Silas who led the early church. There were also angels who conveyed messages from God, and men who opposed Jesus. Some Romans believed Jesus was the Son of God, others persecuted and killed Christians. Among the most grateful for the life of Jesus were the many he healed of recent or lifelong diseases and infirmities, or even death. It was the most transformative day of their lives. No other person has impacted human life and history more than Jesus. See him through the eyes of those who knew him best!

"This book was born in 2002 as a Bible study that I wrote for the women who gathered at my home to study God?s Word. At that time, I felt that the current culture had been especially good at robbing us of our freedom. As I dug into the Word of God to put together the resulting study, I realized that the current bondage that plagued our society was common to all people of all generations. The basic cause of bondage has been the same for all people since the fall of Adam ? Sin. So, the question you must ask yourself is, ?Are you free??. The Bible tells us that Christ came to set us free in Galatians 5:1. If not, the second question that must be asked is, ?Why not??. As you begin to study the Word through the help of this book, pray that the Holy Spirit will increase your hunger, your appetite, and your passion for a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ."
"Author Gwendolyn Culpepper was born into a family who saw stoic strength as a badge of honor. From her grandparents and mother, she witnessed spiritual strength that helped the family climb the hills of adversity that lay ahead. The matriarchs in her life ensured that the family?s well-being always came first, thereby building a strong foundation for her future. In Seeds of Faith, Culpepper examines and quantifies the experiences of her life, from her lineage to daily opportunities that encouraged her spiritual growth. She shares her story as an extended olive branch of love as a sister in Christ, hoping that others may plant good seeds with her and bear a bountiful harvest for the Lord. God?s love teaches us to be there for one another in love, the greatest gift, just as He was. Chronicling her life and spiritual inspirations and sharing in the revelation of God?s love working in the lives of others has filled Culpepper with gratitude and awe for God?s grace. This memoir presents the life history of one woman and her family and seeks to reveal God?s peace and understanding unto His glory."
