About this title

Synopsis

Faith in Rhyme presents a compilation of writings by author and poet J.D. Baskin. Baskin, who utilizes poetry to share his Christian views and convictions, was prompted to write when thoughts and words interrupted many a sound sleep at 2 and 3 a.m. He does not see himself as a Bible authority but merely as a humble believer willing to be God's instrument (in one of the poems, "I'm Just a Christian", he describes himself). His 70 poems are divided into five sections, with each section containing a message of faith. His highly relatable topics include- • Personal Faith: The Christian life, including poems about J.D.'s personal faith experiences; • Faith through Trials: Believing through life's challenges, including poems about the author's personal trials as well as about national and international troubles; • Faith in God's Word: Inspired by stories from the Bible, including stories about Jesus' life as well as the lives of other Bible characters; • Sharing the Faith: Encouragement for other Christians-such as keeping the faith in old age-as well as verses urging nonbelievers to repent; • Eternal Faith: Heaven, eternity, and the second coming of Christ. Readers will be blessed by the sincere poetry of J.D. Baskin.

About the Author

J.D. Baskin was born and raised in a small “country” town in Southeastern Oklahoma. After serving in the U.S. Navy, most of his working life was then spent with one company, from which he retired as president. He and Eloise, his wife of 56 years, will be “back home” in Waco, Texas in 2016. They have three grown children, Kevin, Karla and Kristy, all of whom have families of their own, which have provided several grandchildren and great-grandchildren for J.D. and Eloise. Their church membership will be with Woodway First United Methodist Church in Woodway, TX.
