While There Is Still Time - Giveaway and Review



About
While There is Still Time

God always sends messengers to warn his people before a special event. He sent Noah before the flood. He sent angels before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He send John the Baptist before the arrival of Jesus Christ.

In the same way God spoke to Noah and John the Baptist, he has spoken to Terrell Dunnum. Terrell had released the Lord’s messages into a book of poetry that will bring hope and healing to all who read it.



While There is Still Time is filled with poetry that is enjoyable both for its messages and its unique rhythms and rhymes. The poetry in While There is Still Time will touch all people, whether saved or unsaved. The lost will be drawn back to God, the weak in faith will be strengthened, and all readers will find encouragement and inspiration.

Read the Excerpt


Yearning for You
Like a whistle from a kettle as steam is set free
Is my yearning for you
Like a hand that rocks the cradle
With a soft, gentle touch
Is my yearning for you
My fragrance is sweet, so why don’t you sit, relax
Let it warm your feet
I am warmer than milk and sweeter than honey
With words of love as gentle as a little baby bunny
So come into my presence, my dear, my sweet
I have all the bread and wine and so much more to eat
For I will satisfy your longing no man can fill
With my words full of comfort
I’ll carry you to this great and awesome hill
So be still and know that I am
You are my bride
Prepare yourself

Emily's Verse


If you are a parent, you can look back and see each year of your child's life in a small nutshell, from first steps, first words, first day of school, first crush, first day of driving, first day of marriage, of your first job.

We could probably all look back at the day to day milestones in Emily's Verse and smile fondly as we remember like I did as I turned each page as a mom reflecting on the emotions, the memories and even those precious and fleeting moments.

Who would have thought to document them all so beautifully all the way until the life was thoroughly and completely lived. A life in review. A life captured in poems that will leave an impact in your life and a footprint on your heart.

Here is just a sample of what you'll find:

I am now twelve
becoming a teenager
talking on the phone
my bedroom walls
filled with pop stars
and my clothes
no more second hand clothes
from a second hand shop
and they have to be the latest
greatest fashion
no matter the cost
so I started babysitting
my first business.

I received Emily's Verse compliments of Matthew W. Pope for my honest review and LOVED it! Such a simple and elegant way to really draw a huge impact on the reader at the conclusion. You almost feel your very last breath slip away as you finish the book! This one has an ending you won't see coming. 5 out of 5 stars and a MUST Read for everyone! This is one book you won't want to miss out on.
