OFFERING

POEMS FROM DAVID’S TENT

Words shape us

The authors of this collection come from different walks of life; young and old (one only 12), male and female, from diverse races and cultures united in their love for Jesus. They explore the theme of ‘offering’ from standpoints of what we bring and how we live in faith to what the Lord offers us through the miraculous and the everyday.

Our hope is that next year’s volume will grow as our first volume uncovers the writers amongst us and inspires those who have never tried, to pick up their pen and write.

This is our invitation to dare to ask the question ‘What do I want to say?’ or even more dangerous, ‘Lord, what do you want to say through me?’

No matter where you are in your writing journey, we would love to hear your words.

Please share them with us and get involved with Volume 2 by emailing poetry@davidstent.net.
