When_God_Speaks_To_Us.jpgFew books conjure up a sense of time and place so specific that reading them is like paying a visit to a perfect idyllic spot. When God Speaks To Us by Donald Lowell Iannone is such a book.

Care to attend an old-time campground revival meeting? Visit the little church in the vale in all its humble glory? Go back to a time and place when life was much simpler and more beautiful? Take a look at a few of Donald Lowell Iannone’s poems in this collection, and you’ll find yourself in such a spot, refreshed, encouraged, and exhorted in poetic form.

Forty-two spiritual poems are found in this volume. They touch upon topics such as nature, hope, peace, joy, deliverance, and life’s lessons, all in rhyming form. The words and style are simple without being simplistic, the messages so basic that even a child could understand them, yet intrinsic enough to keep an adult reading.

The perfect blend of spirituality without being overly “preachy”, When God Speaks To Us is the perfect selection for the church goer, or anyone who needs a little old-time religion.

Recommended.
