A collection of poetry with powerful messages, such as love and mercy, as expressed in "A Book of Deeds," the theme of cover art:

"I held in my hands a book of deeds--
And every page was bare;
God had blessed me abundantly;
Yet, I had none to share...

I fell to my knees--
And I cried in shame,
"Oh God, Oh God,
Am I somehow to blame?

I did an assessment of my life--
And I began to rearrange;
I did all I could possibly do,
And I prayed for God to make the change..."
