Synopsis

What if the things that shake us are also the things that lead us home?

The Will of the Wind: Poems of Return and Renewal is a collection of reflective Christian poetry for the seasons when faith is tested, truth becomes uncomfortable, and the noise of life can no longer hide what is happening within.

Moving through three stages, The Stirring, The Wrestling, and The Surrender, these poems explore the quiet battles that shape a life. The need for approval. The masks we learn to wear. The thoughts we entertain. Doubt that sits beside faith. Prayers that seem unanswered. The cost of truth. The weight of regret. And the difficult grace of finally letting go.

These are poems for anyone who has wrestled with God, with themselves, or with the distance between the person they appear to be and the person they know they are called to become.

Inside these pages, you will find poems about:

• Faith and doubt when certainty disappears
• Truth, conscience, and the hidden choices that shape who we become
• Loss, waiting, and the silence of God
• Identity, approval, fear, and the masks we carry
• Confession, mercy, surrender, and returning to what matters
• Mortality and eternity, and the questions that remain when everything temporary falls away

This is not a collection about having all the answers. It is about what happens when the questions strip away our illusions and leave us standing before truth.

For the person who is searching.
For the believer who is wrestling.
For the heart trying to return.

Open these pages slowly. You may recognize more of yourself in them than you expected
