{"product_id":"9781463435783","title":"Sonnets for Messiah","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout the centuries, writers have penned volumes in prose on the subject of Messianic prophecy, but only a handful have written books on this fascinating subject entirely in poetry.  Since most of the prophets and scribes of Israel wrote their divine revelation concerning Messianic prophecy in Hebrew poetry, a modern-day collection of poems that concentrate on how Jesus fulfilled some of these prophecies would be a valuable resource for any twenty-first-century school, church, or bookstore.  Charles Spurgeon, the famous nineteenth-century British preacher, once asserted that “The Bible is like a lion, it needs no defense; let it out of its cage, and it will defend itself.”  The cage door is now ajar!  \u003ci\u003eSonnets for Messiah\u003c\/i\u003e consists of one hundred sonnets that show how God’s Son, Jesus Christ, fulfilled one hundred Messianic prophecies from Old-Testament Scripture.  A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem that means “little song.”  \u003ci\u003eSonnets for Messiah\u003c\/i\u003e uses three distinct sonnet forms to mold its themes: the Shakespearean, Spenserian, and Petrarchan.  Each style displays its own unique rhyming pattern, and they are structured in such a way as to express ideas concisely.  It is exactly this conciseness that many readers find most appealing about the sonnet.  A well-crafted sonnet can say as much on a subject in fourteen lines as a book of prose can say in fourteen pages!   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155705610480,"sku":"9781463435783","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781463435783_p0.jpg?v=1763681769","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781463435783","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
