Songs and Letters is a compilation of poems, essays, and epistles. These were created throughout the author's adolescence and adulthood and cover a variety of sociological subjects, including death, love, and morality. In it, we observe the author's growth in knowing God and her knowledge of service to God. In a world where hate and animosity seem to be the norm for many devout people, this book offers a commentary on the nature of God. If the God you know teaches hate, not love, then it is not God you know. The book also reflects on the nature of personal relationships with God. Special emphasis on American values and hubris is included, as is an "Epistle to the Children." It is hoped that the reader will learn from this book--about themselves and about their world--and that the reader will attain a closer, deeper relationship with the God they recognize. God is bigger than any one religion. Peace. 1 3
