You don’t need any experience in beta reading, and I won’t ask much of you! I simply want your thoughts and feedback on this book to help aid in the editing process. There’s no deadline to finish, and I encourage each beta reader to read at their own pace. More information and details will be emailed to my beta team on January 18th, followed by a complimentary ARC copy of my poetry book on January 19th. (Disclaimer: all ARC copies will be electronic).

Book Summary
Fifty poems intricately woven together with the truth of God’s Word and faithfulness. He Is Faithful In Every Season is a book of worship, love, redemption, freedom, and dependency. It touches on topics such as anxiety, fear, loneliness, insecurity, and grief. It brings to light the abounding hope of a Savior regardless of the darkness in this world. The raw and emotional prose written is solely to glorify God in the highest and to give hope to those who are lost.

Below, you will find one of the fifty poems I’ve written, all thanks to God for the words inspired and used. You are some of the first people to read it. I hope you enjoy!

Without You (A poem from He Is Faithful In Every Season, by Julia Rose)

I have nowhere else left to turn
Except to You, my Jesus.
You are the only real peace;
You are the only real love.

Without You, my life would be void
Of the sunlight and blue sky.
I fix my eyes on You, Jesus,
Because You are the strength
Of my life.

You are my shield,
You are my hope and peace.
Without You, I’d be lost in this storm,
My soul deceased.

Without You, I’d be trampled
By the weight of my sin;
Drowned by the shadows of life.
Without You, I’d have no light.

Oh God, what would I do
Without You?
Who would I be, where would
I go, if I didn’t have You grounding
This hope in my soul?

Without You, I’d be thrashed
In a sea of lies and false dreams;
Twisted at the seams as
The world swallows me whole.

Yet, You’ve taken hold of my heart
And I know You won’t let go;
You guide my life and restore my soul.
You transform my being and
You renew my perspective.

I see a new life before my eyes,
One You’ve perfected.
Every day I battle against the
Forces of evil, and every day
You stand beside me.

Already in victory, You reign,
Constantly giving me strength
To walk through the fire,
Again and again.

Without You, I’d be lost
Without You, I’d be chained
Without You, I’d be searching
Without You, I’d feel useless pain.

But with me, You are;
Never leaving my side.
You’ve called me, Lord.
Use me to reflect Your light!

Without You, I’d have no hope;
Thank You for never letting go.
Because with You, my life is full.

“…And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20 ESV
