Bøker av James Hanna

This book contains Bible verses expressed in inspirational prayers. The prayers are written in rhyming poems. Each page has its own story to tell. I wrote these poetic prayers every day, once a night. It was my way to worship God and ask him to come to save me and guide me in hardship times. He didn't disappoint. I was a little teenager from a broken country in the war. I left my family when I was 17 years old and tried to follow my biggest dream which was coming to the United States and living free for ones. Jesus took care of me. But after I got what I wanted, I broke up with him and followed my selfish desires. I then got lost and fell. I gave up on Jesus, but he never gave up on me. After all the bad things I had done to myself and others I was at my lowest moment, hopeless and alone. I wrote these rhyming words to call him. Jesus again didn't turn his face away from me. He came and rescued me again and again. I pray to God that this book helps you too and shows you a light in the darkest moments. God bless you.

Extraordinary author James Hanna gives us his second collection of short stories--all of them eerily alluring yet packing a humorous or Kafkaesque wallop. Relying on his police and prison experiences, Hanna is able to craft realistic stories involving deviants as well as those who guard them, yet these stories are never police procedurals. Hanna has a Hunter S. Thompson flair that shows both the socially appalling as well as the underbelly of the 21st century and yet he delivers the wry humor to ferry us all across life’s turbulent river.
