A Message Of Faith

Word Weaver Review of A Gentle Kiss from God, a Book of Poetry and Promise, from Rev. Sam Wright, Author, Word Weaver’s Writers’ Group Coordinator

A Gentle Kiss from God says so much in so few words. Replete with earth images and message-nuggets of hope, A Gentle Kiss from God offers stunning word-pictures through an eclectic choice of verse; an array of art and photography and original music that mirrors God’s Creation. Specifically, in Chapter One’s vivid word-storm of the seasons and of God’s Old and New Testament promises, the reader finds himself pausing to reflect.

 If you’ve been desirous of an acquaintance and long-standing relationship with the Lord for a while but haven’t been able to wrap your mind around a way to make this happen, the author’s uncomplicated presentation of the Lord’s acceptance of us as we are -yields a path to reaching him through prayer. The reader may readily find a sense of comfort in realizing -and grasp at last that Christ, with His strength and peace is but a prayer away, with comfort and refreshment for your soul. The introduction of short music scores and lyrics becomes an integral portion of the book’s landscape. Its music on audio, on mp3, streaming or digital download comes to us as if on angel’s wings, in quietness and confident assurance of our Savior’s power and presence.

Fresh insights arise from this new author, Carol Ann Castagna as portrayed in her carve-out of topics like immortality and hope of eternity; love; ageing; relationships and poetry, itself. The book offers a word-burst of season-splendor, comfort, peace, harmony, stick-to-i-tive-ness, resilience and HOPE.

Marilyn Renfrew Reviewer

Giggles of Nature is bursting with love! This soul-soothing little book of poetry is infectious with the joy of this author's Grace-filled spirit. Ms. Castagna's descriptive choices vividly and most beautifully magnify all the beauty of nature that we are Blessed to be surrounded by ~beauty we are prone to daily overlook. She includes the joy of children, friends, spouse, motherhood, as part of this natural world, we are gifted with by God. Never cloying with sentimentality, her words bubble with inspiration and musicality! "Sunday Afternoon,"(one of my very favorites) exudes her warmth and love, and is sure to leave the reader feeling deep gratification. A gem of poetic writing you will reread many times.

Isolde (Izzy) Hunter Poet, Author

This book makes you breathe joy and peace in a world that is being bombarded with darkness. Restoration and beauty of our God's Love, as demonstrated, through the talents of the author.

Nancy LeMaire Reviewer

Author Carol Castagna has once again produced a poetic work that touches the human soul. She has a unique way of making the words dance off the page. Carol trusts Jesus Christ as her Savior and delights to portray His sovereign hand in all the beauty before us. Whether it’s trees, animals, the wind, or us as individuals, I derived a warm delightful feeling as I turned each page. “Lush leaves sweep the skies lifting my praises to God.” “Sassy sunflower, you! Smiling coyly, stare toward your worthy earth, then swift, in step with the wind, look to the sun; a lift in your style… “ All writers will relate to “The Poem Writer” and here is a silver example piece: “words, wake up, from senses…rouse from sleep...lose sight of happenings that prod us to carve reflections on paper… Dart forth with pen and ink! “ Changing seasons are wonderfully expressed with vivid personification and analogy. Here are some segments taken from various poems. “Drape your crimson-gold over my shoulders, your liquid emerald at my feet… Warm me with color before winter breaks… fair autumn, your majesty commands first place… leaves drop recklessly… They whirl like butterflies and flirt with wind gusts… “

“… Summer song rouses robins to trill sweet echoes in June… “ “With every step I hear the sound of ice, crackling, echoing, then resting on footprints. “ Sweet love reflections keep the heart burning brightly. “Because your kiss was my awakening… At night in your arms, you squeeze me as though it’s the first time… “ “She is his love gift and he is hers… “ This joyful poetic work will be a delight for adults of all ages. We are reminded of the brevity on this side of eternity yet the glories of that which await a believer someday. This also is a glimpse into the heart of the Author. “I am content to look toward heaven and remember His promise. He remains my Portion, who breathes life into each new day. And softly, I say, ‘ stay with me, Lord, as I grow older, and with joy, I await your return.’” I recommend this book and give it five stars for the quality and impact it has on the reader.
