Alive and Why: Testimony Poetry

'Alive and Why: Testimony Poetry' is a 140-page collection of 51 poems written by the spoken-word artist, Adam J. Bodnar. It chronologically spans the almost 8 years he has been a Christian. With rhyme, alliteration, metaphor and narration, these socially-aware poems together present a powerful case for the Gospel while taking readers through the incredible journey of his spiritual growth. Adam draws upon vast life experiences and a thorough grasp of scripture to poetically enlighten, encourage and challenge readers. Despite your worldview, you will likely find much humor amidst an often profound if not heart-wrenching honesty throughout ‘Alive and Why’.

Adam J. Bodnar was born in 1984 and began writing poetry as a teenager, becoming really inspired at the age of 17 and reciting publicly by the age of 18 and ever since. At the age of 25, Adam went from being openly anti-Christian to whole-heartedly believing in the God of the Bible. As much as his mindset, his poetry radically changed. Adam has since performed his Christ-centered poetry hundreds of times everywhere from coffee shops and bars to churches and festivals. He has recorded a few high quality videos of performances.
