All
poetry books
are collections not only of Dr. Nesbitt's poems but also of
excerpts from his prose books, commentaries on current moral issues, plus
notations and reflections on matters pertaining to Christian living.
"Omen In The Sand"
---
"Alone, man has seldom achieved what for him only God
perceived . . . As long as man forcers earthly pride, ripple marks in the sand
will betray his low spiritual tide." Besides many wonderful commentaries
and poems, this book contains
"Shadows of Hope"
and "Forfeiting Mission."
"Pilgrims on Stage" --- "Be
a pilgrim on the move, sprinting towards the Light...." We can
learn to share our faith and be an instrument of God with open hearts and minds.
72 spiritual poems, percepts and commentaries are included.
"Daybreak of Hope"
--- Daybreak is that the "God of hope will fill you with all joy and
peace as you trust in him" (Psalms 15:13). Dr. Nesbitt's inspirational 42
nuggets and 32 poems bring peace and strength to all who read them. "Acts
of decency are stepping stones to righteousness, while hope sustains us on our
pilgrimage; it takes the freeway to salvation across Faith's sturdy bridge."
"Chorales For Arid Souls" --- This
book of 23 inspirational poems illustrates
expressions of truth, faith and hope in the Spirit and validity of the human soul.
Each time you read one of Dr. Nesbitt's poems, you will experience new reactions as
different images come to mind, forming new ideas which will add spiritual dimension to
your life. Also there are 15 inspirational graphics depicting the poems as
understood by the artist, and 20 reflections by Ellen Nesbitt as an imagery guide.
"The
Fullness Search" --- In this book of 24 inspirational verses, we become "brothers and sisters of
one poetic mind, respecting our spiritual union as One Body partaking of divine
nature to reach transcendent heights" ... "Like Virgin Mary, we ponder
things in our heart, fathoming the Truth." Also contains Reflections
by Ellen Nesbitt and illustrations.
"Visions
Shared" --- Dr. Nesbitt's third book of poetry,
contains 23 inspirational verses and commentaries. This book of poetry is truly a
gift of spirit where "dreams take root in verse." This is a
collection of God's love and redemption revealed as divine forgiveness. In
reading "Visions Shared," you will
have the inspiration to forgive yourself and open up your potential for
regeneration.
"Marked Off From Pagans" ---
Since primitive times, man has recognized that a Being superior to himself has
held supernatural powers over this affairs and destiny. Like a shipwrecked
crew cast upon a remote island in the universe, we search for our bearings and
for the signs of other life to give us hope. In this "life
within" poetry collection, the answer is "not in finding 'hope' in
Pandora's box but finding truth that God's great mercy will give new
birth."
"Daily Relevance" ---
This inspirational book of poetry and short stories has been organized to
reflect on the long and tiresome path to righteousness. Our pilgrimage
along the arduous path to spiritual maturation is the struggle of a
lifetime. Our daily relevance is found in the comfort of "God's
embrace," once we've recovered the innocence of "our primitive
child" and the "the peaceful repose of Living Water."
"Puppet or Saint"
--- Are you a pilgrim saint or a societal puppet??? "Hearts soften through
love, Faith saves the soul, not deeds, Saints witness through works" --- As
spiritually-prepared Christians and responsible citizens in a free society, we
are expected to contribute generously of our time, talent and treasure, and, if
need be, our life, to God and country. On our pilgrimage, we are asked to
live lives worthy of God. However, where there is disharmony between the
two involving moral choices, it is the duty of Christians to "obey God
rather than men" (Acts 5:29).
"Souls
in Touch" --- "A soul is more misplaced than lost, just
outside faith's boundaries, the soul lies less inert." --- There is a time
for everything in faith. This is the basis for the belief that man can
realize his potential for holiness. We are people of strength through our
spiritual heritage --- genuine hope for human deliverance in the fullness of
time.
"Profiles in
Character" --- "I'm my brother's best hope, a vital force
for all humanity." The bedrock of our reality, and the empowerment to
bear the fruits of the Spirit and to utilize special talents for the glory of
God, is moral character.
"Glimpses"
--- "On dull, yawning days, while dreams await their borning, share a
glimpse or two" inside this awe inspiring collection of poetry to find
balance and Truth, the coordination of human essence.
"Latent Harvest" ---
"Great poets are not unlike plagiarists because the power of their
creativity is borrowed. Their use of language and expressions of inner
thoughts are initiated and authorized by the Holy Spirit. When poets
recite fruits of their labors, it's like rejoicing in a harvest of seed
planted within their own divine nature." This exciting
book promises that through a foundation of God's love we will experience new
life from first fruit, fresh harvest from old dust, sweetness in reclaimed soil,
seasoned to holy taste. This book of poetry also includes
"Editor's Choice Awards" selections and preface by Gig Moran, Editor,
Watermark Press.
"Dry River Beds"
--- "When we block access to our Headwaters, our
tributary system of gifts runs dry, mercy founders in arid hearts, intellect
becomes flotsam on streamlets of stagnant understandings ..... coursing into
transforming Light, where Truth is unveiled and glory anoints all partakers." In
God's spiritual condensation, God's love is ecumenical, allowing His reservoirs
to overflow.
"Language of The Soul"
---
"God's grace is linked not with our natural qualities,
however appealing they may or may not be to our fellow beings, but with a soul
at rest in Him, at work as He wills it. He brings love even unto the the
lowliest of us and relevance to our most ordinary tasks." God is always
touched by those whose strengths and guiding principles are founded in faith.
"Unitive Ways of Grace"
--- "I was color-blind
before I was graced with vision, until God brought color to my soul."
Dr. Nesbitt's poems help us to find a personal relationship with God. In
the beauty of his words, Dr. Nesbitt writes about the process of spiritual
growth and that "salvation is the reward of faith."
"Horizons Perceived"
--- When one abandons the dark times of waywardness and comes into the
transforming light of Living Water, discovering the sweet, fresh clearings where
preparations are underway for a new Kingdom we can then awaken the spirit.
In this book, Dr. Nesbitt explores all horizons of God's personal
communications.
"Muse Skitterings"
--- The epitome of God's creative achievements is man, His "fine art"
piece and we are asked to be "useful" works of art by His gift of free will.
"God gave the stage and
the actors for the pursuit of the inspired Word, which is the repository of the
common stock of all great ideas --- the Muse who cast lures, skittering over
Inspired water to catch the mystical magic of poetic allure."
"Timely Sparks"
--- We are all wanderers looking for answers in the labors of
our work and our salvation is an unearned gift, not a function of work.
What are timely sparks? "Truth makes souls
timeless. Second birth makes us ageless; we're ever God's charge.
Age is a mind-set. God sees not one wrinkled soul, if faith keeps them
young."
"River of Return"
--- Spirituality flows along the river and our
voyages in living follow the shore. "Current
of Living Water in the shallows, make noisy runs in petrous narrows."
Currents of our soul reach out to further our spirituality which is waiting for
us.
"Temple
Light" --- "Climbing God's
mountain takes a saint's noble courage, a full commitment ... "
You won't be alone when you reach the top and there will be joy, truth and
light.
