Book Description
With Eternal Verse the poet uses words in carefully crafted poems to express and explore what it is to enter and exist in heaven. In vivid language he engages the reader in descriptions of what was always considered by most western theologians to be ineffable. In this depiction of paradise the author presents a unique and personal point of view, yet he remains faithful to the Catholic Church's teachings on heaven in its Magisterium. This astounding volume of verse is a voyage through the fantastic realm of our eternal end.
