October 04, 2016 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
October 4, 2016 - Poems, Read and Relax, a new book by Mother Johnson, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Mother Johnson uses this unique collection of poetry to explore faith, family, and the beauty of everyday life. Her reflections and observations of relationships repeatedly challenge us to draw closer to God in faith. Affirming her belief in prayer as the path to faith, wisdom, love, hope, and patience in such poems as "Remember," Mother Johnson directs attention to the spiritual aspects of family, home, and daily life. She also draws on nature for inspirations, as can be seen in the imagery of "Timely."

Poems, Read and Relax employs the beauty of poetic language to reflect on the possibilities for peace and love on the journey toward our heavenly home.
