The author is a Catholic priest who has had experience in teaching and social work as well as parish ministry. What he writes about is intended for the widest possible cross section of the community. He is as eager to avoid moralizing as he is to share his insights. Very often these reflections challenge a narrow concept of belief and encourage us to have a wider vision. We 'journey into awe' when we begin to see that everything is relevant to our relationship with God. The author would argue that not only is everyone called to this deeper way of life but that in fact the majority of people are living a spiritual life without realizing it. These reflections will deepen our awareness of this truth.

The book s divided into four sections. The first two provide insights from reading the gospels and from approaching God in prayer. Section three raises questions we may have in the course of our journey towards personal fulfilment. The last section contains short stories or vignettes from everyday life, written in dialogue form. Be assured that the poetic reflections contain none of the difficulties often associated with the reading of modern poetry. These stories and verses make for easy reading, yet often their message is quite profound. Since each reflection is unique the verses and vignettes may be read (and hopefully re-read!) in any order.

Princella Rollins White writes "While encountering different situations of my own as well as helping friends through trying times in life, I have been spiritually blessed with the ability to write through pain and find God's love through many ordeals."

THE JOURNEY OF A HEART is a collection of poems that follow the life of an American woman from the meeting of her future husband to her death at a ripe old age. Along the way the main character encounters many challenges and her heart is exposed to the reader as she deals with each one. There is romance, motherhood, doubt, fear, loss and anger all linked together in the travel through life.

There is also mystery. The poems are written in several different styles to set the mood or to tell the story. But not the whole story. Throughout the book there are hidden answers to seven questions listed in the back. If the reader can answer the questions from clues within the poem, he/she will discover things not obvious to the casual reader.

THE JOURNEY OF A HEART would make a good gift to any woman who anticipates or who has experienced marriage and family.

The book truly speaks for itself as long as the reader is as open as the book is. Readers who can be touched, who can feel, or be moved will understand and embrace my heart's masterpiece as each word represents accumulated knowledge from the experience of living and having life. Life with the understanding of the negative and positive energies from the people we share the world with and how any energy, when used for trueness and optimism, is good energy.

The In Zoneis a collaboration of the elements necessary to survive the challenges that are naturally apart of the journey of life.

These poems are the result of spontaneous pressure from my mental and physical self: written during a full time commitment to raising a family and teaching in an American Public High School. Plans were not laid for the unity of them. These writings are sudden solidifications composed in a mental rush of thought. Behind them are ideas from years of living that have quickly become conjealed in a literary form. Though I do not consider myself a professional poet reading and writing for the purpose of earning a living, I have spent much time studying poetry. Emily Dickinson, Rainer Maria Rilke, Robinson Jeffers and Shakespeare, of course, were among those most stressed.
