{"product_id":"9781465371324","title":"Moving Forward: Poems of Faith, Life \u0026 Loss","description":"This book is a collection of poems I have written throughout my life. I started writing when I was in high school. The early poems were for girls that I knew. No copies of these were kept. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  I started to retain copies in college. My poems moved from just words to life stories, personal thoughts and my God. I have shared some with a few friends, which for me is difficult, because I tend to keep most everyone at arms length. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   My journey has been filled with life’s up and downs and my poems reflect the joys and sorrows I experienced and some you may have experienced. Most important for me is that Jesus is my constant companion who rejoices with me in the good times and carries me through the hard times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Psalm 23:  The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. \u003cbr\u003e  NIV              He makes me to lie down in green pastures,\u003cbr\u003e                    he leads me beside quiet waters,\u003cbr\u003e                        he restores my soul.\u003cbr\u003e                    He guides me in paths of righteousness  \u003cbr\u003e                        for his name’s sake. \u003cbr\u003e                    Even though I walk \u003cbr\u003e                        through the valley of the shadow of death, \u003cbr\u003e                     I will fear no evil, for you are with me,\u003cbr\u003e                     your rod and your staff,\u003cbr\u003e                         they comfort me.\u003cbr\u003e                     You prepare a table before me\u003cbr\u003e                         in the presence of my enemies.\u003cbr\u003e                     You anoint my head with oil,\u003cbr\u003e                         my cup overflows.\u003cbr\u003e                     Surely goodness and love will follow me\u003cbr\u003e                         all the days of my life,\u003cbr\u003e                      and I will dwell in the house of the Lord \u003cbr\u003e                         forever.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125794029808,"sku":"9781465371324","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465371324_p0.jpg?v=1763683894","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465371324","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
