But by the Grace of God... A relationship with the Lord is one that helps navigate through life's trials, bring comfort after a loved one's passing and staying focused on living for Christ to prepare for the upcoming Rapture. Author Betsy Audibert seeks to capture what a relationship with God and salvation through Jesus is all about in her new collection of Christian poetry, But by the Grace of God... To begin this description of living for Christ, Betsy starts straight from the ultimate source, the Bible, in the book's first poem, The Book. The poem shares the purpose of God's parables to mankind, while also inspiring the hope of what being a Christian provides us in faith, wisdom and love. Several poems also highlight the changing seasons of our world: from the excitement to be had during the summertime to the blossoming plants of spring to the quiet reflection that comes while indoors during the wintertime. Each poem magnifies the author's strong relationship with Jesus, depicting what salvation is for a person new to faith and the abundance of God's blessings to emerge as one releases his/her life into the hands of the Father. Heartwarming poems are also given in recognition of mothers and fathers, including one that Betsy wrote in celebration of her mother's eightieth birthday. The overall feelings within But by the Grace of God... are those of admiration and awareness of the Father's love for every person who seeks Him in faith. Betsy embodies through her poetry the belief that strengthening our spiritual connections with the Lord can strengthen our witness of Him to the unbelieving everywhere. When we realize that we have been saved by the grace of God, and it is not of our works but Jesus', then we are more equipped to share this knowledge with others before we return to our heavenly home.
