Poetry with a profound purpose would be one way to assess the
value of Jo Anne Meekins’, On Solid Ground: Inspirational Poetry For All
Occasions. But even this description
doesn’t seem to fully grasp the enormity of the effect it will have on its
readers. Each poem will connect with the
reader on a spiritual level and leave a lasting impression that it was written to
and just for them. This was the case with one of the poems that spoke to the
depths of my being. It is entitled, “Live On”. As someone who recently lost a dear loved one,
my mother, it was as if she wrote this poem herself.
The poems in this book are rich in relevance and the structure
of its execution appears to be intentional. The book is arranged into seven sections, with
eight poems each in six of its sections and one section with 16 poems; representing
God’s perfect number seven and the new beginnings number of eight. Each section
is prefaced with its intended aim and all of the poems are accompanied by
relative scripture in the King James Version of the Bible. Giving it a once
over read will not be enough, you will find yourself referring to its contents
over and over again. It can be used as an added addition to your devotional
time with the Lord or a source of reference in times of need for comfort and
strength.
A book with an anointing of this kind cannot be
written without having a deep personal and prayerful relationship with Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. Ms. Meekins has proven that in fact she does have
this relationship and her readers will reap the benefit. The reader will be
blessed reading this Godly inspirational book of poetry, which truly speaks to
the heart, mind and soul. On Solid Ground: Inspirational Poetry For All Occasions is a must to
be placed on your all occasion gift giving list.
