"In You Alone", the book's title and lead poem, was inspired by Andre Rieu's violin rendition of "You Raise Me Up". The other poetic endeavors were inspired by God Who has been most generous in handing me the words to my poems. For each poem I offer due praise to Him for His Gift.
In 1988 I suffered a heart attack in Anchorage, Alaska while on a job assignment there. That event got my full attention. Disabled by the heart attack, I began writing novels and poetry, reflecting on the many gifts God had shared with me over the years. This attention-getting event has led me to publish three novels and seven books of poetry since that date.
Poetry, in my opinion, is to be shared and should a line or two touch someone's heartstrings, I am delighted. For my effort, God receives the honor and the glory which He so richly deserves.
As you read the poems, perhaps in your daily devotionals, I trust that a line or two will touch your heartstrings as you meditate upon God's Love and His Grace.
