About
the Book
From the
Preface…Created over a period of 40 years, these poems were
written for or have been used in church services. They are celebrative,
but also preachy. Hence, “A Preacher’s Poems.”
I quoted from one (My Father Wept) at a ministers’ conference once,
only to have a colleague join me in duet.
“Where did you learn that?” he asked.
“I wrote it,” I said. “25 years ago.”
He pulled out his wallet and showed me a tattered copy of the poem,
clipped from a church newsletter. He said, “I’ve been carrying it
almost that long.”
Here you will find this preacher’s poems; but also meditations,
marriage, memorial service and other liturgical pieces, as well parts of
three sermons. These latter are included because I keep getting asked
for copies and also because this is the form in which “a preacher’s
poems” often occur.
