Why Christian Poetry? When a heart is touched by the events of life, for example, discovering the Saviour, being suddenly aware, conscious of the weight and significance of one's sin; those situations cause a response. This, 'response', can take many forms, if, by consequence, you are, like me a poet (or even if not) it seems that writing poetry is a channel of expression, a form of written therapy, self expression which has to be employed. It is akin to squeezing an orange - meaning it doesn't matter where you squeeze the orange, a spray of orange juice leeks out; the fragrance, of which, fills the room. What I am trying to say is this: when I write poetry sometimes there is a conscious effort to express Christian values, ideas etc. and sometimes it happens 'unconsciously' (as it were). One cannot help the feelings, emotions, thought patterns etc. that seem to 'spill out' of one's brain almost uncontrollably. As a committed Christian (since I gave my life to the Lord on July the 9th, 1981), and if you wish to use the jargon, a 'born again Christian', (if you know what that means?); as someone who has God in his mind 24/7 (as the Americans say); I cannot help wanting to express myself regarding, what is to me, an integral, highly important, most significant, and absolutely essential part of my life Christian poetry to me is a natural well spring of thoughts and ideas concerning the most important 'trio' in the known universe. Any Christian 'worth his salt' will immediately understand the double meaning in the Series title...
