Pilgrimage Poems: Poetry to Encourage Reflection and Growth

by Randy Stoltz

Overview

This book of poems is the fruit of many years of struggle and difficulties. It is the beginning of seeing life lived from a deeper place of singleness of heart, life in union with Christ. “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, (simple, single) your whole body will be full of light, ( Matthew 6:22). If you suffer the feelings and emotions of separation with all the anxiety and fears that accompany that alienation, (that all have experienced), then read along and experience the same fear, anguish, comfort, joy and wonder the author felt that inspired him to write these poems. The psalmist says, “For thou art great and doest wondrous things, thou alone are God. Teach me thy way, O Lord, that I may walk in the truth, unite my heart to fear the name, (Psalm 86:10-11). It is a wonderful experience to journey from the landscapes of a divided heart to those of a united one. Come outdoors for a walk!
