What is the meaning of life? Faith, Truth, and the Pursuit of Life: Poems of Hope and Love is a poetry collection which attempts to answer this universal question with an answer which takes many of us a lifetime to find, and even then, it is found by faith. We spend countless days of our brief existence on earth in search for an answer to this mysterious question; what is the meaning of life, the meaning of my life?

The love we experience in our relationships give life meaning; we love one another with patience and sacrifice. Life is mysterious, but with Jesus, it makes sense. Without Him, life is selfish. Relationships crumble without the love of God in our hearts. To find the truth of love, we must have faith in something greater. So we seek.

Often we find the answer to the meaning of life in the earth and the stars, or in ancient words and rituals from the people who lived before us, or inside of every human heart. Wherever we find the clues, they come together to form an answer, the answer which leads to God.

The poems I share seek to answer the mysteries of life, and to consider the true way to live our relationships with others and with our Creator. I have pursued life, the hope for life eternal, and I have found the answer in the truth of Jesus. I hope my poems will inspire and motivate you to pursue the truth of life, and may God bless your journey with faith, hope, and love.
