Books with author Richard Poe

Love is probably one of the most overused and abused words in the English language. In this collection of poetry, devotionals, short stories, and ideas, Richard K. Pope tackles and explains the ancient Hebrew word for Love "Ahava" which denotes an action of sacrifice and giving. In this form of the word, an action is required. To love is to give and to give is to love. To truly understand Jesus, we must understand what he has given us, why he gave it to us, and what we are to do with it in return. So prepare to dive deeper into your faith while learning more about the "Ahava" love of Jesus!"Richard K. Pope is an amazing, talented and gifted young man whose faith in God is evident in his poetry and devotionals. He speaks on everyday situations and gives insight and hope in a world that no longer seems to have hope or compassion.
