Reseña del libro "Poems From Within (en Inglés)"
These poems were written by Dennis Sawyer. He was incarcerated from 2000 - 2017. Growing in the Lord and learning to choose to do the perfect will of God, everyday, remains the same - in or out- of jail. Many of his life experiences will make you recall where you were in your own walk with the Lord. Dennis' journey may feel very familiar. While in prison, Dennis lost many family members. His father, two brothers, a sister, and a son passed away. He was released March 1st, 2017. Today, he enjoys time with his son and two daughters. Dennis R. Sawyer was born on February 13th, 1947. He grew up in the Saxon Mill Village. After school, he served in the Navy for six years. After which, his civilian employment, involved setting up newly purchased mobile homes. Dennis recalls his life events. "While I was adjusting to civilian employment I laid out of church for three consecutive Sundays. It was then I became misdirected and committed a crime. I was sentenced to twenty years. I served almost seventeen of those years. "While in prison I rededicated my life to Jesus and began writing poems to express all that was within my heart; both good and bad experiences and my thankfulness for God's love. The Lord protected me and kept me safe while in prison. "I took three Bible Courses and have a diploma for each. I took a forty-two week Bible Study, while still in prison, call the Jump Start Program, in 2012. I was released March 1st, 2017. Today I attend church and I am involved with the Jump Start Program. I plan to use these compiled poems to minister to prisoners. "Hope, prayer, and faith changes the heart and mind. Come boldly to the Throne of Grace (poem named His Amazing Grace). The pure love you find in God will build freedom from within the heart all the way to the mansion in Heaven; which is prepared by Jesus, for you." (John 14: 6)
