PARKERSBURG, W.Va., January 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- An honest, devoted look at the devastating emotions of life and how they can rip one away from God, Crimes Against the Heart: Escaping the Prison of Darkness Into God's Marvellous Light (now available through 1stBooks), offers Christian-based poetry and Scripture passages. With her book, author Rose Robinson Coleman hopes to steer the faithful back to the glorious light of God's love.
Coleman offers a passionate look at the emotions that cripple one's personal relationships with family and friends. She delves into descriptions of depression, guilt, anger and sorrow that pull one further into a dark abyss and away from what she calls "a place of glorious refuge." Her well-written, heartfelt verses transport the reader's spiritual mind, body and soul from the darkness to the light.
In "Free at Last," Coleman writes about the chains of negative emotions and how God gave her the key to unlock her mind from grief.
"Dear, these trials are only a test of your faith/A test to show that you can be strong and endure/Your faith is far more precious than gold/More precious than silver so pure/These chains keep you in the deepest pit/Keeps you in the miry clay/It keeps you from escaping the prison of darkness/Into the glorious light of day..."
In this inspirational book, Coleman helps people move away from their own personal darkness to the shine of God's enduring light.
"Each Scripture-based prayer, poem and short story will bring renewal, restoration, intercession, affirmation and thanksgiving as it draws you out of the prison of darkness into God's marvelous light," Coleman writes.
Coleman, a graduate of West Virginia State College, lives in Parkersburg, W.Va., with her family. She is involved with the Angelic Outreach Ministry, a ministry through The Church of Judah in Belpre, Ohio. This ministry reaches out to nursing homes and hospitals and plays a major role in her spiritual life. Crimes Against the Heart is her first book.
