LONGWOOD, FL-God shared His wonderful message with us through words, so why shouldn't we do the same? Author Marvin H. Lane sure has some big shoes to fill, but he undertakes his lofty duty with panache. Come Walk With Me: Poetry and Lyrics (paperback, 1-60034-910-2) is a collection written to praise Jesus Christ and to share His message through words. Lane's third book of poetry, it is designed to inspire positive feelings in readers and a desire to praise and worship God.
Lane's career as a writer began formally in 1976, when he wrote material in mostly lyric form. He grew more interested in the poetic aspect of writing, and thus the compilation pieces were born. Most of his work is written to praise Christ or to share what miracles He has done in Lane's life. Says Lane of writingÕs cathartic allure, "I write mainly because I enjoy it, and it allows me to share my emotions and feelings through words."
Written from the viewpoint of "a simple sinner like everyone else," the book is an enlightening and enjoyable read that will make readers feel like they are traveling, hand-in-hand, with Christ throughout pages and pages of poetic and divine inspiration. "It is simple," says Lane, "and I believe everyone can relate and come away with a positive feeling after reading it."
Marvin H. Lane was born and raised in Sacramento, California, and is married to Jodie. They have three childrenÑone daughter, Crystal, and twin sons, Mark and Rick. He started writing in 1976.
