40 Poems of Praise and Inspiration: Who Do You Say That I Am? is an easy-to-read book of Christian poetry. Writing this book fulfilled a personal goal of mine and has covered a span of forty years to completion.

As you know, forty is a significant number in the Bible. There are over 150 times where the number forty is mentioned in the Bible, giving the number forty a great significance. For example: Moses and the Israelites wandered forty years in the desert; God destroyed the world in the great flood, lasting forty days and forty nights; Jesus wandered in the desert for forty days of prayer and fasting; and many more examples can be found.

The format of the book is arranged in order to tell the story of Jesus's life on earth through poetry. It begins with His birth and progresses on to the resurrection and descent of the Holy Spirit. After each chapter, study guides have been developed for individual or group study, depending on the needs of the reader.

This book can be read for enjoyment and also used to extend knowledge and reinforcement of Christian beliefs. Additionally, Christian schools, organizations, and prayer groups can use this book to help anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with God.

It has been a joy to write this book, and I hope it is helpful for anyone wanting to develop a relationship with the Lord or strengthening the relationship they already have.
