Synopsis

These days many people are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to experience God in their lives. Some are finding it less and less necessary, or even desirable, to seek the presence of God. Our Everywhere God! is a collection of poems that draws insight from the experiences of everyday life and acts as a reminder of the presence of God in all things. Written in a manner both simple and profound, Our Everywhere God! invites readers to recognize and celebrate God's presence in prayer, nature, relationships, and suffering. Rene'e Hilton-Taylor found the inspiration to write this book during times of quiet prayer. These poems have challenged her to come out from underneath a bushel of fear and doubt in order to let her light shine. It is God's presence within that allows the divine to be experienced everywhere. The light in the window Gave me such peace. It shown in the darkness, And my worries released. When a lamp gives off light Within a very dark room, It dispels the unknown questions And the feelings of unwelcomed gloom. When light shines within our darkness, Then we are able to see All the things that hold us back From God's call, "Come follow Me"
