LONGWOOD, FL-If you are seeking to develop a more personal relationship with God, sift through the pages of Are You Listening to His Voice? (paperback, 978-1-60266-919-2; hardcover, 978-1-60477-069-8). This Spirit-filled book of poems by Bertha Barrett Jackson was divinely inspired, says the author, and written to inspire, uplift, motivate, encourage, and change its readers, that they might become more like Jesus with each passing day. Through times when the road gets rough and the load heavy, the book of poems will let its audience know they are truly not alone in this Christian journey as they attempt to carry their cross daily.
"The central theme of my book is to exalt the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to uplift and encourage readers," says Jackson. "I hope readers will gain a greater understanding of who and what God is and how they can change their lives to be more like Jesus."
Jackson credits experience as her best teacher for this book. She has lived much of what the poems speak about because "you can't be an effective witness without having 'gone through' anything." Her experiences have been so varied and interesting that she has had enough to fill three books and another one on the way. "I want people to know there is hope in Jesus, that they are not alone in their trials, tribulations and struggles," says the author.
Bertha Barrett Jackson is next to the youngest child out of 13 children and has been a licensed Baptist minister for more than 13 years. She is married to George and is the author of Africa A Pre Trip Must!
