Earthen Vessel

About the Book

With timeless appeal, Earthen Vessel artfully shares powerfully engaging prose and verse. In this emotionally gripping collection of poetry, the reader is ushered through a journey of uniquely charming and soulful depictions – from dramatic and rending to subtle and celebratory. Bask in the surprise of stunning blooms from the author’s prized gardens that provide a perfect backdrop for each selection. Pause as the author invites you to a tranquil place of personal refl ection through fi ve classic themes: • Adoration that arises out of the heart and life of a believer • Life emanating with vital connection, discernment, and capacity for growth • Lessons showing understanding and appreciation for turning points on the journey of an earthen vessel • Love esteemed and valued, then celebrated in the consummation of marital union • Legacy shining wisdom’s light of appreciation on family forgiveness and well-lived example “In other words,” Dr. Patricia says, “deeply engaging in refl ection can result in insight and understanding so substantive that it brings benefi t also to those around you.” May the creativity and passion of Earthen Vessel prove an encouraging and capable treasure to that end.
