Poems for My Abba (Paperback or Softback)

This book contains poems and praise. I wrote it for my Abba, my Heavenly Father, my God, to honor Him, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the entire Trinity. I also wrote it for you and anyone else that could and would read this book. My hopes would be, especially for those who have never known Him, and for those who have fallen away from Him; that something in here could strike a chord of feeling or emotion. Perhaps creating a spark of desire to know Him or return back to Him, God, OUR Abba.
