We're thrilled to announce the release of Excelsior by Alma L. Carr-Jones. This gorgeous book offers praise and worship poetry, with several poignant story pieces at the end.
What is poetry to you?
Author Alma L. Carr-Jones answers this question in her introduction of the book:
“What poetry is to me — soul speaking to soul on various levels or depths. It can be intricately woven with various threads, cords, cables, etc., of the human existence, both abstract and concrete.
Poetry says, “For this one moment in time, my soul touches yours because I, too, understand.”
Poetry lets us know that we are not alone in our deepest feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
Come join us in this journey of poetry and story-telling, a journey of heart touching heart, soul touching soul. As you read and explore, you’ll discover the true essence of this book.
Excelsior!
Available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.
About the Author
Alma L. Carr-Jones, who was born in Memphis, TN to Lula M. Carr, a preacher’s daughter, says that she never thought to live in times such as these, and that she never dreamed that her words would be used to give the masses hope in such times.
A resident of McKenzie, TN, her life's motto is, "Doing What I Can, While I Can with Care." Alma is a retired educator, and minister's wife.
Since her retirement as a teacher, writing has become her passion and calling. She says that to breathe is to write. Though she can write whatever is asked of her, she prefers to write words of encouragement for mankind and words of praise and of thanks to the Lord for His love of mankind.
Alma is a successful author and poetess who has produced 11 books to date, including Excelsior. Alma attributes all that she has accomplished to GOD, and this belief is reflected in the silver medallion she wears around her neck (and in the title of her second book of poetry), which reads, DEI Sub Numine Viget (Under GOD's Spirit, She Flourishes.)
Through her work as an author/poet, Alma proclaims her love for the Lord, His love for mankind, and her love for her fellowman by shouting from “the tallest mountain in her world.” She infuses hope and encouragement in her work.
