Sneak Peek:


Bare Feet 
Encompassed in trees
here I stand
breathing the beauty
of this wooded land.

At peace with myself,
I stand free to dream.
So slipping off shoes,
I run through the green.

My burdened soul's uplifted
in the pale morn light,
a new day has broken,
gone is the night.

My tightly tethered heart
has grown white silken wings
and flies through the sky
up where the jay sings.
(c) Susan Elliott



Roar 
His name left written
by driftwood scribe
she stood; bathed by spray
at the ocean's shore
closing bloodshot eyes
hearing the roar,
like a heartbeat, it
had called him home.
She alone; drowning
in bitterness
watching the tide wash
memories across
the sand, erasing  his name.
(c) Susan Elliott



Tejas 
The Sun beat down from the Texas sky
licking its way through the carpet grass.
Indian summer left it weathered
burnt and yellow flecked, sparsely green.
We two standing in the foreground
trees dark and forest like squat giants behind us.  

You smiled.

I smiled.
 
Our arms draped around each other
born fresh into womanhood, no cares,

save the cowboy who took our picture.
(c) Susan Elliott

Spirit, Water and Blood: The Marriage Covenant of the Lamb by Lora Wise

About Spirit, Water, and Blood: The Marriage Covenant of the Lamb :

""The Spirit, the water, and the blood are the three that testify. They set up the marriage covenant in which the bride (the church)is united in the body of Christ. It is the covenant relationship in Christ that saves. Come see how we are joined to the body of Christ and what it means to be in a covenant relationship with God in Christ. You will never look at your walk with God in the same way again."

A Study in Art: More Than a Passing Glance: Early Christian Art by Susan Elliott

More Than a Passing Glance: Early Christian Art was a true labor of love. I absolutely love all things pertaining to early art. I remember the first time I studied early Christian art at the University of Arkansas. My professor opened my eyes to a world I had never known or understood.

The important lessons of early Christians came alive before my eyes, and I understood their lives better than I had ever thought possible. Journey with me through this amazing walk in the lives of the early Christians.

--Susan

When you read More Than a Passing Glance: Early Christian Art, you will immerse yourself into a visual tour of the catacombs, and understand what messages the early Christians wanted you to know from their funerary art. Through your study you will gain a better understanding of the Bible truths these paintings and symbols represent. If you’ve ever looked at ancient Christian art and wondered, this book is for you.

More Than a Passing Glance: Early Christian Art is suitable for use as a home school book, or as a ladies class book. It is a book of general knowledge that even young students need to learn.
