Book Review: Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory by Ellen Tanner Marsh

As reviewed by NY Times best selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh Any Christian surveying the current state of modern poetry could easily become discouraged, given that much of that poetry can only be categorized as nihilistic. At worst, such poems seemingly promote despair and violence-against society, the church, or even against oneself. At best, they consist of self-centered whining and overdramatic emotionalism, completely devoid of spiritual muscle and ethical backbone. New aut… Continue

Poem: The Dark Heretic

In diligent search of God was the dark heretic, a master of the natural world and our father of modern physics. In defiance of the Church stood Sir Isaac Newton alone, cloistered in his office, clinging… To personal beliefs, of his own. Interest in “The End Times” was his lifelong, secret mission - His papers were intentionally hidden, from recognizing the gravity of his situation. In the study of Divine Prophesy, Newton poured incessantly over The Word, convinced that his Doomsday calculatio… Continue

Poem: When Will You Come?

Oh my Lord – When will You come? Will I be found, before my earthly life is done? Will I experience Your Resurrection Power and observe how sin You have conquered & devoured? It’s a win-win scenario, for me, in any case – As I long to see Your radiance, revealed at Heaven’s pace. To enter Your gates with humble willingness is real, knowing that I’m clothed by Your Righteousness. When will You come? Will I be found, before Death has finally succumbed? Although Your timetable has not bee… Continue

Poem: Outside the Windy City

Outside the Windy City lives the Lady Finnegan - Carol dearly loves the Lord Jehovah and is a part of His earthly plan. Her heart has been pierced by God's Holy Spirit; for she placed her life before Him and has chosen to submit. Her adoration for the King has burst forth with heart's joy, from reading her great nephew's literature within the borders of Illinois. Now she's become God's messenger via her gifts of Joe's Christian poetry - For the fragrance of God's Love envelopes her with scrip… Continue

Behind the Poem: Game Theory

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge. Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its challenge wa… Continue

Behind the Poem: Spiritual Irony

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter). If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History Channel". It's am… Continue

An interview with author J. J. Breunig 3rd

1. What caused you to write a book and have it published? Thankfully, I’ve enjoyed a career in IT (Information technology) for over 25+ years. However, I’ve been downsized out of a job four times – the last time in 2005, I was unemployed for nine months. During that time, I looked at over 19,000+ companies to find one job. With more jobs in my field being outsourced to lower wage earners overseas, I decided I needed an exit strategy from the corporate world to launch a more stable career and inc… Continue

In Remembrance of Grandma - Poem & Background

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share the background and poem "In Remembrance of Grandma". I recognize that most of you reading this article will not know much about my maternal Grandmother, other than what you're able to glean from this page. However, there are universal lessons that need to be shared. This poem was originally written for… Continue

Poem: Dust (Humor)

Those disembodied remnants, Earthly remains of unknown souls, are now assembled at my doorstep. Having piqued my attention, who are these unwelcome houseguests? Loved ones or Nordic heroes who were consumed in funeral pyres? How old are these molecules that have been forever scattered during these past centuries? Unwanted leftovers of human containers, eaten by microscopic mites, nibble at my presence and wait for my spirit to dry up. The dust calls for my fated demise; However, my particles won… Continue

Behind the Poem: Enjoy This Season

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share a blurb regarding my poem "Enjoy This Season". Lots of people like to surmise about the idea of living in a different period of recorded humanity, such as: Italy's Renaissance (circa 1400-1600 ad), the building of the Greek or Roman Empires, the time of Christ and so forth. However, not me. Being an I.… Continue

Poem: Human Matrix

Forcing an alignment of corporate resources for some theory of best fit correlation doesn't work on Kingdom People when using an unspoken method of tabulation. If Life is about true spiritual growth, then why do ministries attempt to pigeon-hole not making any allowances for us to develop, expand and break our current mold? Despite multitudes of outcome possibilities the Church seems to suffer bouts of paralysis from the continued mashing of talents and gifts resulting from unexplained Presbyt… Continue

Behind the Poem: Enoch

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I speak to a poem that ends in a direction, not initially considered... I've attended Church services for more than 3.5 decades; as a youth, I was raised in a Baptist Church (in southern Maine). For those unfamiliar with this division of Christianity, there's nothing more important than studying "The Word of G… Continue

Behind the Poem: Evening Sky

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. One never knows exactly when the Spirit of God will move on your soul; fortunately I was paying a little bit of attention, one cold winter night... I've been a member of the IT (Information Technology) community since June of 1981, a profession that constantly tries to turn you into a slave from an employee. Rarely did I ever brin… Continue

Poem: Eternal Wellspring

Wellspring of spiritual water, It's bubbling inside me. Gently soothes my bruised soul - Covering Life's pain of mystery. Unseen surging river, Courses through body mortal - Renewing my energy, Forced through this open portal. Full to overflowing, Come stand next to me, Let the excess splash on you - To prime your own jubilee. This internal source, Never shall run dry; For Hope springs eternal, Keeping this flood in full supply. From the book: Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory The ISBN… Continue
