After The Storm Is Over

About the Book

Braving the Storm Hand in Hand with God - New Book of Poetry on the Enduring Power of Faith. A collection of personal experiences expressed in poetry. A spiritual wellspring of hope and encouragement. Roberta M. Heck’s After the Storm is Over traverses the Book of Genesis through the Book of Revelation, the stars and the oceans, and life’s everyday difficulties in a moving collection of evangelical verse. After the Storm is Over is a powerful testimony that prayer and faith in God are one’s greatest tickets for battling out life’s tough times. It is an inspirational set of religious poetry that will truly bring comfort and hope at a time when they are most needed. In whatever situation—war, a weakening economy, abjection—this book will set your heart and mind at peace. In life, we all have our own share of storms. Heck confesses that she personally lived it. The poems in her book express a lifetime of personal experiences. “These poems are my expression of how the Lord brought me through the storm. To look at where I was and where He has brought me. All I can say is, Thank you Jesus, the storm is over.”
