In 1 Kings 19:10-13, Elijah heard God's voice. A powerful wind, an earthquake, and a fire passed by, but God could not be heard. Then the Lord was heard in a quiet whisper. God Speaks to My Soul is a reminder that we all have to be quiet and still so that we can receive what God is relaying to us. There are times when we go through life and say that we are busy, but we are merely being busybodies. We seldom take time to get in tune with ourselves and listen to what our inner voice is telling us. Sometimes, we make mistakes, knowing that we ignored our intuition. Sometimes, people go to places of worship in an effort to get closer to God. Yet, they fail miserably. Elijah was not in a place of worship when he heard God's voice. God is everywhere. We can find Him anywhere at any time. Connect with the author on Facebook at https: //www.facebook.com/KollinLTaylor

Survival is a poetic examination of one of the most heinous crimes on the planet: sexual assault. Some of the stories herein are real-life accounts, while others are fictional.

Wrongfully Accused is poetic look at how one's life is altered by false allegations and misunderstandings. For some, this means time in a correctional facility. Anyone who is falsely accused of anything serves time in prison, even if it's a mental prison-because fear sets in as the individual resumes the journey of life by walking on eggshells.

The Path to Enlightenment is about our quest to find inner peace. Many seek inner peace but never find it. But everyone who finds it soon realizes that it doesn't mean a life without challenges and that inner peace is a journey, not a destination. In some cases, inner peace will lead to even more challenges in life. Saul's life was changed when he was called to serve God. He went from being Saul, the man who persecuted Jews, to the Apostle Paul, the man who was enlightened, yet he suffered tremendously. One of the most powerful messages from the Bible is "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17 NIV). Even if you are not religious, the enclosed collection of poetry is about things in life to help sharpen you.

On Trial: A Test of My Faith is meant to help you endure life's challenges as your faith in God is put to the test. Psalms 66:9-12 mentions being tested and refined like silver. On Trial: A Test of My Faith is a compelling eyewitness report from the depths of the smelting pot. Before the things God ordained and planned come to pass like in Isaiah 37:26, you may have to endure many challenges. But, if you endure you will discover that the Lord will fulfill His promises as stated in Luke 1:37. On Trial: A Test of My Faith is a reminder that having faith is more than simply a noun, it is also a verb. Connect with the author on Facebook at https: //www.facebook.com/KollinLTaylor

Second Chances: Worthy of Redemption is the follow-up to Humble Pie: A Gift from God. Anyone who has truly lived has probably made at least one mistake. In some cases, the mistake is something one has to learn to live with for the rest of one's life. If this blemish on one's life's record doesn't result in public humiliation, it can at least serve as a thorn in one's side to help keep the person humble. Even when we forget and move beyond our transgressions, others will occasionally appear to remind us, and, in some cases, try to define us by who we were or by what we did or what was done to us. Second Chances: Worthy of Redemption is about those of us who have made mistakes. Since we can't undo the past that added an imperfection or two to our lives, we have to learn and grow from our experiences and do our best to continue living without repeating our transgressions. It is said that we never get a second chance to make a first impression, but we always have a chance to make a lasting impression.

Humble Pie: A Gift from God is a poetic look at how people fall from grace; the lessons we can learn from each other; and how humility can help us recover from life's challenges. Oftentimes, people fall from grace or find it hard to recover simply because of pride. Some people would literally prefer to die rather than do things like ask for help or apologize.

The much-debated question of whether a fallen tree makes a sound if no one is there to hear it is answered by a brokenhearted person who was dumped and left alone. When no one understands the pain, and the one person who could make things better has ceased all communication so as to move on without being bothered by the gurgling sounds of the brokenhearted person left behind, The Sound of a Fallen Tree is the stethoscope that amplifies the sounds of a heart that is being drained of the love it once knew. The Sound of a Fallen Tree allows the world to hear the cries of a fallen giant who was left for dead. Connect with the author on Facebook at https: //www.facebook.com/KollinLTaylor.
