Poetry Reading Becomes Appointment with God, Destiny

LONGWOOD, FLA (PRWeb) December 14, 2006 -- Many people think of God as some distant figure, harsh and frowning and very separate from our lives--except when He wants to inflict punishment. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth, and communicating that truth consumes author Kevin Heenan. In his new book Poems, Prayers and Promises ($12.99, 1-5978-171-04), Heenan writes about the endless love and mercy of God, who longs to spend time with each of us one-on-one. "God is a God who treasures the seeker," says Heenan. "The central theme of my book is that there is a God who really loves us, despite our weaknesses, and He wants us to seek Him in all that we do. Revealing ourselves to Him in a repentant way can change the course and destiny of our lives whether we're 10 years old or 80 years old."

Woven throughout the pages are applicable scriptures that complement the simply written yet thought-provoking poems and prayers. The book is designed as an easy, inspirational read, whether you enjoy it alone or use it along with your quiet-time Bible studies as a way to meet with God. Ultimately, this special collection will help to open your eyes to God's endless love and the mercy He has for all of us!

Kevin E. Heenan gets his inspiration to write from the circumstances he sees in other people's lives, his own life, and time spent alone with God in prayer and study of Scripture. A mortgage banker in Newport Beach, California, he lives with his wife, Debbie, of twenty-four years and their four children: Ryan, Dennis, Jamie, and Kelly. His hope is that each person who reads these poems will be blessed in their own life and open their heart to a loving God who always forgives us and shows us unconditional love. He wrote this collection of poems and prayers after several friends encouraged him to put his writings into a book.

Xulon Press is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 2,500 titles published to date. Retailers may order Poems, Prayers and Promises through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
