HUPOMONE

About the Book

Hupomone is a book of inspirational poetry motivated by my life experiences. It tells of the joys, the heartaches, and lessons I’ve learned. Hupomone means possessing the ability to endure whatever hardships life brings and still being able to trust in God and never lose hope. This book tells of my strengths and my weaknesses, but through it all I still stand. Hupomone has poems for almost every holiday or special occasion in anyone’s life. Every page captures your heart and is easy to understand and learn from. Hupomone was written to inspire change. I hope it brings revelation of God’s presence in our lives, conviction of our wrong-doings, and repentance to change and make Jesus Lord of our life.
