by Daril Bentley (Author)
With a steady, measured, and calmly forceful approach and tone, the poems of Patience, Therefore confront the worst in self and society–including hypocrisy, conflict, ill will, and avarice and poverty. Conversely, the book celebrates the positive in and among us. Its spiritual emphasis is not impositional but exploratory, inviting, and thought-provoking–mindful of and inclusive of the secular as well as the faith-based audience. We all feel downtrodden and powerless and long for truth, stability, and justice. Poetry can play a role in our physical and emotional health. Ultimately, we can take solace in the goodness and loving kindness that still exist and that a just God has promised will prevail.
