It's easy to be silenced by trauma, to lose yourself and your voice. But I Haven't Even Opened My Mouth explores trauma through poetry. Is a young woman's claim to her voice and asks the question, "Do you always want a mother's love?"

"A Beauty Mark" is a Powerful Christian Devotional which explores and imparts the Divine perspective of beauty in weakness. As it delicately unveils our flaws (beauty marks), it asserts that God's Glory shines far brighter than does the visible flaw. It is from this perspective that the reader is encouraged to view/see ones own self and others. The Author contends that to attain perfection or flawlessness through any other means is akin to following Satan's deceptive road to independence. (History itself has taught us about the futility of mankind without God). As a reflector of God's own Light, he began to glory in his own beauty, not understanding the privilege of reflecting the beauty of God. "The Light was not his own, nor the reflection, only the privilege belonged to him." Engaging and riveting examples are taken from scripture and modern life depicting the beauty of God's embrace upon the broken and flawed. This book offers to it's readers a new pair of eyes, to embrace with God's love what was once despised. You will want to enjoy it again and again.
