LONGWOOD, FL-With every scribble of the pen, another door was closed in William Woodard's life, proving once again that God was "the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." The poet and author of Journal of the Heart: Poems & Short Stories (paperback, 978-1-60034-863-1) takes readers on the journey of his heart, an intimate walk with Jesus over the span of 14 years. The collection of poems and short stories was compiled from the author's private writings and details the many events that led him closer to God. However, his faith walk was anything but easy, as he grew more and more distanced from loved ones and learned that, as one chapter closes in life, another will open when we trust in God.
Says Woodard, "Many times in the process of growing closer to the Lord we lose friends and family [in order] to help us grow and mature in life. This journey of the heart is a constant process in one's life when we place our trust in Jesus Christ." By taking it one day at a time, Woodard is learning to receive all the blessings, miracles, and mysteries from God. Honest to the core and filled with uniqueness on every page, the book promises to cultivate an interest in a Christian's daily walk with God and, for non-Christian readers, a desire to read and study the Bible.
William G. Woodard lives in Southwest Missouri and enjoys reading and studying the Bible. Through prayer, he was given the ability to weave a poem or short story out of words and thoughts given to him by the Lord.
