C R Lord wrote poetry over the years prior to becoming a Christian, and shared his poetry with friends and family, but never thought of becoming a published author until 2008 when he published his first book, From The Heart Of A Servant. Before that time CR's poetry was directed to romantic poetry in the hope of impressing the young ladies he was courting or had special interest in.
From The Heart Of A Servant is sub-headed "Poetry Created To Glorify God." Since Jesus
changed his life radically this was now the desire of his heart. The book contains C R Lord's accumulated poetry including poetry under the headings of Jesus and God, The Body Of Christ, Babies And Children, The Things Of Life, Epic Poetry (longer poems), Miscellaneous Poetry and Non-Poetic Writings. The book encompasses 153 Pages and includes a mini testimony of his conversion to Christ and closing thoughts with plenty to bless those who read it.
A few testimonies from thee Forward and the back of the book read as follows:
"Once you begin reading this book by C R Lord, you will be convinced, as I have been that he is an apt man of letters, an agile poet and a creative and gifted writer. Because books are unique presents, windows into the heart of the author and excursions for reader's imaginations, you will have a blessed and challenging journey through Rick's expressions and vivid word pictures.
I have known Rick and his dear wife Bev, for almost 30 years. As alumni of the school co-founded by the Reverend David Wilkerson and me, I know and appreciate their strong desire to share the reality of Christ with others. Their investment in the lives of their own seven children prove their faith and reveal the fruit of their pursuit of God.
Hang on for an emotional, mental and spiritual challenge to your life as you open up your heart to the inspiration in the pages of this book. You will be blessed."
