MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of his new
book, Moments with the Master: 365 Day Poetry Devotional, ($26.99,
paperback, 9781498419239; $37.99, hardcover, 9781498419246; $9.99, e-book, 9781498419253) Steve
Parr shares original poems in Haiku form, based on Scriptures and inspired
insights. His purpose for doing so is to import wise ways to treat one another
to reflect God’s character and His way of life, like in the wisdom literature
of the five books of poetry (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastics, and Song of
Solomon). Furthermore, his book was written to be utilized as a devotional,
providing a set of poetry for each day of the year.
“My goal is to encourage Christians to open themselves up to the instruction of the Holy Spirit, who gives wisdom in righteousness,” states the author. “I hope that readers will obtain understanding and wisdom in all areas of life, because all who pay heed to biblical wisdom will become wise.”
