In 2004 when I handwrote what is now "The Sun Neither Rises nor Sets" I gave each topic a title that started with "Life's Holy Rhymes" and then I added the topic. (i.e. Life's Holy Rhyme on God; Life's Holy Rhyme on the Bible etc.). I called them that because they were about life, they were spiritual, and they rhymed. I renamed the topics to be chapters for the book and as an example Chapter 18: Fire & Brimstone started out as Life's Holy Rhyme on Hell.
These wisdom filled rhymes sat dormant in my closet until 2010 when I transcribed them into Word documents and then back into my closet they went. While on a hiatus from work in September 2022 I was given the next nudge that it was time to publish the rhymes. The title for the book came to me in a dream and I trusted emphatically that it was correct. As you can see from the table of contents below there are thirty-seven topics that are shared over 283 pages. The style in which the topics are written is what makes the book unique. The book rhymes from chapter one to chapter thirty-seven. Here are two samples of the style of writing that are found in the book. 1. (Excerpt from chapter one which totals 1037 words and 4 pages) By the age of six I was afraid to do any wrong. I was a good child, but I didn’t know how I belonged. The foster home I was in was full of abuse, and to them I could do no right and was of no good use. I felt like a slave with no hope for freedom and I was worked everyday with only more abuses to come. 2. (Excerpt from chapter four which totals 7243 words and 14 pages) I knew incredibly young that I was destined to do something. God had forewarned me that He had much for me to bring. Never did I imagine that He would use me to write so much. Everything I write is done through my hand and God’s touch. My own soul has been whispering to me my whole life, and the truths I have had to overcome have cut like a knife. The wisdom in the book and the way it is written tells me, and should tell you, that it is divinely sent. I have no other explanation as to how it evolved other than to say that I kept the faith from my conversation with God at the age of six to trust Him and I would get to "know what it was all for".
