Large Print Edition

When life shatters, where do you take the pieces? Poetry From The Heart is a Christian poetry collection born out of some of life’s deepest valleys: divorce, betrayal, childhood abuse, financial collapse, homelessness, and the slow goodbye of a father dying of cancer. Out of those wounds came poems written between 1997 and 2002, now gathered to offer hope to anyone walking through pain.

Through vivid images of barns and wildflowers, storms and deserts, exams and empty tombs, Randall James Gibbons gives voice to the questions many believers are afraid to ask. These are Christian poems about loss, broken families, trauma, and shame. Yet every page keeps reaching toward the God who restores the years that the locusts have eaten.

Inside this book you will find Christian poems about grief and loss that speak honestly about death, mourning, and the hope of heaven. You will find poems about healing and inner restoration for those carrying the weight of past abuse, secret sins, and regret. The collection includes Christian poems about God’s grace and mercy that celebrate forgiveness, second chances, and a fresh start in Christ. There are poems about faith, suffering, and trust for days when you feel like Job and cannot make sense of your trials. Each poem is anchored with devotional reflections and KJV Scripture that point back to the promises of God’s Word.
