Poems, Prayers and Promises of An Appalachian Woman is meant to lift the spirit, and is intended for the whole family. It reveals my relationship with the Lord, in my frailties and in my strengths. It deals with how I have looked at tragedies, in both personal and in general circumstances. Some are intended to have a touch of humor as I have found many things funny after a look back on them. But mostly I hope they touch that inner soul of those seeking the Good Lord’s love to know in their life. To the Christian, I hope they give you a blessing, with a renewed strength in what God can do in your life.

Beautifully Written,

This review is from: Poems, Prayers and Promises of an Appalachian Woman (Paperback)
We all have a place within our hearts where a foundation begins sparking a desire to share. Mary Ellen Goble Preeces' book called "Poems, Prayers and Promises of an Appalachian Woman" begins at the foundation of small town hospitality. This collection of Poems, Prayers and Promises will draw you to a closer look at the heart of the author and show her deep love for God. Taking you through tragedy time and time again and into the shelter of our Heavenly Father. "A Yearning" brought me to tears from the pure beauty it expressed showing very clearly those memories of our loved ones last eternally. Mary Ellen Goble Preece writings show great ability to display imagery within her words, which will give you that wonderful sense of experiencing each and being placed within the situation. This book contains countless reminders of Gods unfailing love and promise that `He will never leave us of forsake us" I have enjoyed reading this beautiful collection.

Poems Prayers and Promises of an Appalachian Woman,

This review is from: Poems, Prayers and Promises of an Appalachian Woman (Paperback)
Mary Ellen Preece, Author of "In This Valley I Grew" has given me the manuscript of her new book "Poems, Prayers, and Promises, of An Appalachian Woman." to read and review.
Mary Ellen Preece shows herself to be a real woman of faith in her new book, "Poems, Prayers and Promises of An Appalachian Woman." Her inspirational country style, describes her love of God during trials and tribulations. In her poems she shows that God has walked those miles with her and brought her through to a place where she has found her true self--a woman who puts God first in all things. Her faith lives in her poetry and her poetry lives through her faith. I have not read her first book as of yet, but am looking forward to and I know it will be just as good as Poems, Prayers, and Promises of An Appalachian Woman. I recommend this book to all who love poetry in the spiritual sense. Mary Ellen brings out the simple things in life and makes them poetic and wonderful to the ears. I am honored to know such a woman and to call her friend.

Poems, Prayers and Promises of an Appalachian Woman,
By wondermommy "Wanda Maynard" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poems, Prayers and Promises of an Appalachian Woman (Paperback)
Kentucky has passionate and proud people. Mary Ellen Goble Preece just happens to be one of those passionate, proud people. With her crisp style of writing great detail, she captured emotion.
Some of the poems in this great book left trails of happy tears and wonderful memories, while others made me feel sad inside when I read them. The wonderful prayers gave a feeling of joy for promises that some day God may fulfill. One poem in particular helped me to recall wonderful memories of my childhood. I loved the way the mud felt as it oozed up between my toes as I stomped each puddle dry. I also remember knocking apples from a tree in my daddy's orchard and picking up only the juicy looking ones. But catching fire flies was one of my favorite memories. Yes, "Remembering Yesterday" brought those days back to me. It's as though that poem was written just for me and put a good feeling of pure joy deep down in my heart. Even though those days are gone now, each time I read that wonderful book, I go back to an innocent, happier, more carefree time where things went at a slower pace. Not like this fast-paced, hurry up and wait continuance of today. Another poem that made my heart bleed for all those little ones that have suffered through violence and mental cruelty was, "Little Children". Sorrow flowed just like tears from each line. My heart was touched in many ways through, POEMS, PRAYERS AND PROMISES OF AN APPALACHIAN WOMAN. The tiny light in my window of life seems so much brighter now.
