Old Fields, WV Author Publishes New Book

Mastering Poetic Thoughts, Poet, Lover & Friend-Coming Home, a new book by Gerald Johnson, Jr., has been released by RoseDog Books.

Mastering Poetic Thoughts is about living in a world and being lost in it. Gerald Johnson, Jr. woke up and realized, with God, he can co-create his world with grace and ease. "Faith is the substance of things I hoped for." Johnson is maturing and developing in a promising way to the godly man he's meant to be.

Johnson is transforming photos into words and words into photos. He hopes that readers will be able to perceive his creative and inspirational feelings. "…Setting your mind on things above not on things on earth" that teach us to appreciate those treasures within and feeling God's abundant love that flows through us.

His past can no longer control the steps to his future. As a believer in Christ Jesus, Johnson wrote Mastering Poetic Thoughts as a living sacrifice, digging deeper within. "Whatever things are true, pure and noble, excellent and praiseworthy." "…Seeking them in holiness, which we long for, commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established."
