When I was a child I had a very special concept of God--which grew
larger as I grew in the spiritual journey. The more intimate my
relationship with God becomes the more expansive this image
becomes--until now it also includes ALL my brothers and sisters in
very important and special ways... Dear Lord, I pray to You, if it
be Your Will, let me grow in love and knowledge of You day by day as
long as I am on Earth so I am my best and Your faithful servant
ALWAYS. AMEN.

The Rev/Dr.
Kenneth
Bakken
(Lutheran
clergy,
holistic
physician
and author
of the
internationally-acclaimed
book,
"Journey
Into God")
recently
reviewed the
book and
wrote: "It
is gift to
the whole
Church."
The Archbishop of Seattle, Alexander Brunett, just wrote saying, "I enjoyed the time sharing with you the development of your book of poetry and prayerful insights that you have culled from your reading of scripture and your prayer life...I have read a good portion of the book already, and I appreciate the careful insights through which you lay bare your relationship with God and your understanding of the ongoing process of appropriating the Divine Presence in your life...I hope you will continue to share your thoughts and reflections with others so that they can benefit from your insights and grow themselves...
but these words are only to give you confidence, my readers...many do not need them, and that is alright, too. God's love is for everyone--as well as the joyfulness of life. This is the message, and the reason for the "sales pitch."

Wait,
Beloved, for
Darkness's Gift
By Letha
C. Chamberlain
The reader of
these poems
perhaps caught
in darkness must
know that the
journey of life
is so special
and sacred that
all gentleness
is meant herein.
If these poems
are in any way
intrusive, they
should be set
aside for
another day
when, perhaps,
another light
can be shed on
them. There is
only intent to
spread the
abounding love I
have
experienced,
nothing else.
This peace, this
joy, this bliss
l know it to be
Gods intention
for all
humanity. Be
well; noel!
Alleluia!
Two book reviews
from recent
readers taken
from Amazon.com
(where the book
is available):
Letha dives down
to the darkness
we all dread.
There, apart
from our
superficial
religious
politics,
critiques of
beliefs and
practices, and
from our
activism with
expectations of
certain results,
she leads us
down to where
all is well;
where we are
well. The
darkness allows
us to become
detached so we
can discover the
beautiful depth
of our being
that is so loved
by God. Allow
Letha to lead
you briefly and
through many
situations, in
her beautiful
poetic style, to
the goodness
that is unnamed
and
uncontrolled:
that is God
within us.
While reading
this spiritually
in-depth
collection of
verse....I
couldn't help
but think of
David as he
wrote his
Psalms. Letha
too takes you on
a personal
journey of life
and love of God.
Her writings
open your heart
and spirit in
new ways. She
inspires renewal
of your
communion with
God during times
of struggle that
become times of
inspiration.
This beautifully
written book is
a wonderful
source for
meditation as
well as
spiritual food
for personal
retreats. You
will want to
keep this book
close by as it
will become part
of you. A
definite must
for all who seek
the presence and
presents of God. Reviewed By-Puget Sound Health Ministries
