Food for Thought: Along God's Pathway
- Candace Peterson


For years I have always heard that our main job for Christ was to "Go into all the nations and preach the Gospel." This posed a big problem for me. I know God's Word pretty well, but whenever I opened my mouth to explain someone's question about scripture, my rememberer would freeze up, and my forgetter would take over in babble. I have always felt guilty because I could never explain the Gospel that was in my heart.

Since the 70's I discovered that I had a gift for writing. Then in 2015, I got a revelation of how to share the Gospel. God had given me a gift, and I felt that He wanted me to share it through the gift of poetry. I'm not much of a speaker, but I have no trouble writing down what is in my heart and turning it into a poem.

I've enjoyed writing these poems over the past 40 plus years, and I hope you enjoy reading them also. I invite you to browse through them.

I would like to praise and thank God for His inspirations and His gift for these poems. I couldn't have done it without Him. A few of the poems were inspired by authors writings which I easily turned into poems. I acknowledged them as my inspiration at the end of those poems.

There's one more thing I want to tell you
There's a surprise towards the end of this book
A treasure that will keep you on God's golden pathway
So why not take a look?
