Silent Beauty Speaks is a collection of poems inspired by nature, both within and without. It is the author's interpretation of life and its workings. To the poet, life is more than just the mechanics of biology or the change and course of every season. Life is a rhythmic harmony of language that flows from the speechless mouths of all things living: the power of the rising sun, the mystery of the midnight moon, the allure of the forest, the crashing of the raging seas--all these things inspire thought and reason to combine into a melody of words that flows from the stream of consciousness into the rhyme and rhythm of a song that rises from the depths of the heart!To some, poetry may seem pointless. But to the poet, it is a way of transmitting her longing, expressing her vision, creating beauty with glowing script and breathy language. Some poems are wistful. Others are hard and thoughtful. Whatever the difference, each submits a vision and a longing that the author wishes to convey to her audience. Her poems are not meant to be obscure but are, rather, journeys leading to clearer vision and brighter perspectives.Some poems are mere reflections of life in the present moment, like the beauty of the sun as it sets behind an earthy veil or the quiet peace of midnight as it shadows the sky with the velvet cloak of darkness. Other poems are reflections of faith: the sorrows of life in darkness, the sufferings of humanity, and its need for salvation. Whatever the topic, the author hopes to convey her peace, her longing for creation, and her hope in the promises she believes in and seeks to share them with others.Silent Beauty Speaks is the author's loving work and inspiration of life and all its meanings.

In the sacred tapestry of divine revelation, the threads of covenantal promises and the unfolding Kingdom of God weave a narrative that spans the entirety of Scripture. This book embarks on a journey through the pages of the Bible, seeking to unravel the intricacies of God's covenants and the establishment of His eternal Kingdom.As we delve into the depths of biblical theology, our gaze is fixed upon the foundational covenants that shaped redemptive history-the Abrahamic Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant. Each covenant represents a unique facet of God's overarching plan, intricately connected to the grand narrative of salvation and the manifestation of His Kingdom on earth.Woven into the fabric of this exploration is a commitment to illuminate the scriptures in their contextual brilliance, allowing the reader to grasp the richness and depth of each passage. The interpretive journey unfolds with a meticulous examination of quoted scriptures, providing clarity and insight into the intended meanings within their historical, cultural, and theological contexts.The pages that follow delve into the covenantal promises-those timeless pledges of God's faithfulness, mercy, and love. From the geographical dimensions of the promised land to the eternal throne of the Davidic Covenant, we traverse the biblical landscape, discovering how each covenant contributes to the overarching narrative of God's redemptive plan.The narrative takes an intriguing turn with the introduction of the New Covenant-a covenant that transcends boundaries, welcomes all believers, and ushers in a Kingdom that is not of this world. We explore the transformative power of this covenant, understanding the significance of spiritual rebirth, Kingdom citizenship, and the active participation of believers through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.Our gaze extends beyond the present age, peering into the eschatological fulfillment of God's Kingdom. The promise of an eternal rule, a restored creation, and the culmination of all things in Christ beckons us to contemplate the divine tapestry's final masterpiece. As we embark on this pilgrimage through the covenants and the Kingdom, may the words within these pages ignite a passion for God's Word, kindle the flame of spiritual insight, and deepen the reader's appreciation for the covenant-keeping God who reigns over all creation.

The graphic memoir of Ginette Kolinka, Holocaust survivor, educator, and “ambassador for the memory” of Auschwitz-BirkenauIt is April 1944. 19-year-old Ginette Kolinka arrives at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Her father and little brother are immediately gassed. Ginette is selected as a worker. She survives. It is October 2020. 95-year-old Ginette takes advantage of a lull in the COVID-19 epidemic to accompany a group visiting Birkenau one last time. As a farewell, she brings with her a journalist (France Info's Victor Matet) and a comic strip writer, J-D Morvan. From this trip a comic book is born. Ginette tells of her life before the war, how she discovered she was Jewish, how her family fled Paris before she and her father were denounced. She tells the story of the camp; completely, honestly, without seeking pity. We see her today, how she still shares her story with the world, how she still stands and bears witness. Ginette tells everything with her trademark liveliness and biting humor. We often laugh, and sometimes we shudder. Because the story she tells is ours too.
