After writing "Come Let Us Adore Him," my first published book of poems of and about Jesus, I was at a stage of whether this endeavor was a "one and done" event. I was soon to find out it wasn''t. The Holy Spirit kept giving me topics to run with and so I did. (Sometimes in the middle of the night.) After a short lull, I was back writing about more topics and insights about Jesus.I''m prayerful that some of what is in "The Kingdoms of my Heart" will have an intended effect for many someones to give their whole hearts to the one who gave us victory at the cross of calvary. For those who have already entered sainthood, this book is to reinforce and bolster your boldness for Jesus.
