Book Cover & Preview Text
Through the Storms All around me storms are blowing! Hatred, Pride, Lust and Greed Swirl around me like autumn leaves Driven by winter's early wind. I wrap my cloak--His love--about me And go walking into the squall, Bracing against the mighty blasts-- ...Assured that, soon or late, The winds will cease, The clouds will part, The sun will break through-- And I, safe and whole, Shall find sweet rest From the endless, wearying storms Of an Ungodly World.

About the Author
"I am a Christian, a wife and mother, and a writer--in that order. Everything else that I am is sheltered beneath this umbrella." Linda Garrett Hicks is a writer and poet from rural Middle Tennessee. Through the Storms, written over a period of nearly half a century, reflects this truism.
