My first poem I wrote was out at sea in the US Marines. I wrote it for my aunt when my uncle passed. I began to write more and more poetry over the years. My first poems were written as a hard core atheist. Sadly all those poems were lost as were many others in multiple computer crashes. At the age of 28 my life fell apart and destruction hit me from all sides. I looked up to the stars at night and I vowed to God if you can get me through these coming years of extreme difficulty I will be a preacher for you. That vow God answered with a return to my freedom, however, I must say I have fallen far short of God's glory. At first I said to myself I will be like Billy Graham and have a huge ministry and make lots of money. I paid that sin to the max. After prison I experienced even more mental insanity as well as extreme poverty. Through extreme hardships, insanity, anger, suicidal depression and overall emotional overload, I compiled a book of Christian poetry. These poems appeal to all ages and are written for both men and women. All of the poems are written from the heart. If you struggle or are going through deep depression this book is for you. I have poems about God's love for you, as well as poems about love in relationships, and lost loves, even in death. I have a Thanksgiving poem and poems for bringing newborns into this world, as well as Christmas poems that celebrate LORD Jesus Christ. If you are a Christian or a person who just likes good poetry this book is for you. In my life I have suffered at the hand of Satan for well over two decades and I do not want riches but rather my books to help people. Since 1998 when I first got in trouble I started writing for the LORD God Almighty. It is an interesting story in how I used my GI Bill to help me earn my AA in General Education at Shasta College. I worked hard to earn that degree which I planned to finish my role playing game, "The World of Total Chaos." I wanted to be the best role playing game designer ever, but that silly season ended as soon as Satan retracted his golden hand. What I failed to do as an ungodly atheist I later succeeded as a strong Christian. Though my life wasn't about high ranking websites, big book sales, or preaching in pulpits I succeeded the day I accepted Christ into my life. amen For free samples of poems see www.dalegordonbooks.com also comes up as www.dalesbooks.org I will be leaving my entire books available in pdf until the 26th of November 2016 on this site.
