by Shirley Weiglein (Author)
The poems were written to highlight main thoughts in each chapter and to encourage people to read the chapters and examine the meaning for their own lives. They were adapted from the author's study of the Life Application Study Bible (NLT) by Tyndale House Publishers Inc. It is the author's prayer that each reader be challenged to read the Bible daily in his or her own journey into a deeper understanding of the Word of God.Her first Amazing Journey book contained the Pentateuch (also known as the "five books of Moses" or "books of the law"); the Historical Books dealing with the history of Israel covering approximately 800 years with the rule of judges and kings; and the Wisdom Books (also known as the poetical books) that deal with the human heart. This second book finishes the Old Testament in poetry form. The third book will be the New Testament in the same format. Her educational pursuits began in Michigan with a Nursing diploma from Hackley Hospital School of Nursing, a BS degree from GVSU, and MA and Ed.D. degrees from WMU. After moving to Florida, she completed an MSN in Mental Health Nursing from USF. Her background in nursing and mental health and her love for the Lord prompted her to complete a BS degree in Christian Counseling at Trinity College of Florida at the age of 78. She has been in administrative and teaching positions in nursing and education over fifty-five years. She has been a guest lecturer, speaker and consultant in Michigan, Indiana, Louisiana and Florida. Her love for the Lord and His Word is reflected in the poetry she writes.
