Blending aspects of history and humanity, Poetical Insights by the Christian poet Margarett Inez Bates is a provocative exploration of modern times as well as a poetically charged companion reader to the Bible. Beautifully and powerfully wrought, her work stirs human passions and intellect to a more deliberate investigation of truth. She asks readers to jump outside of their skin and wear the shoes of a stranger to get to the heart of matters. With highly readable poems with titles such as "A Clever Cliche," "The Discard Pile" and "God Had a Plan," she keeps a quick heartfelt pace and whether it is to "Read Isaiah 49" or the entire New Testament, her prolific directives are earnest and learned. For readers who love poetry and the Bible, this book is a celebration of God's love, divine guidance; it is perfect for wordsmiths of all ages."
