Where Roads May Lead - Tapa dura

Where Roads May Lead presents a collection of poetry that tells stories about ordinary people, places, and things, candidly probing for answers to the mysteries of life and ways of the world. Written in everyday language, it addresses a wide variety of subjects to which people from all walks of life can relate. Even so, it is not just a random collection of unrelated verse; poems are integrated with prose to fashion the framework of text that seeks to serve a higher purpose.

Collectively, the writings provide a synopsis of a lifetime of struggles to make sense of life and to reconcile those struggles with the Christian faith. These poems explore aging, the finality of death, and loss of the past. They also examine the uncertainty of living in a chaotic world—uncertainty mitigated by seeking redemption, knowing the love of God, and finding assurance of peace for eternity.

Speaking to anyone who has wrestled with faith, questioned life, or battled depression, Where Roads May Lead shares the results of those struggles by comparing life events to traveling on certain types of roads and explores the destinations to which they may lead.
