About the Author

The best way to get to know the author and his brilliantly creative way of thinking is to read his works of poetry. Every poem in this book is uniquely inspirational and enlightening, and so are each of his books. History and Heroes: Poetry with a Providential View is destined to become another classic work. The author adds this final thought about the cover: "Just as cloud formations arise and disappear in seconds, so too historical events are fleeting and change rapidly, but in a brief instant, when the light of divine Providence radiates through the clouds of man's endeavors, favorably brilliant, transformative changes occur, and wondrous, dramatic, and awesome historical events take place!"
