Krista believes everybody has a story of their struggles, experiences, goals, and accomplishments, and God wants to turn it into something beautiful. Her story started in 2003 when she was a junior in high school. She developed an eating disorder. A few years later she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. By 2009, she had also been treated for obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and severe anxiety. Krista went through three psychiatrists, got checked into a behavioral hospital, and tried every prescription medication the doctor had. Nothing worked. So she turned to God and put it in His hands. She hit rock bottom and couldn't handle it on her own. This is when Krista started painting and writing poetry for therapy. This book is a collection of her art and poetry that has accumulated through the years, and it tells her story and how her Christian faith brought her through it. The poetry is about every day struggles, but it is also educational of mental illnesses. We all struggle with something, and Krista has created a new approach to handle hard times: to use our gifts and talents to get through our struggles. She can be contacted through email at kmcguir3@students.kennesaw.edu/

When I began to have a closer relationship with God and to study the Bible, these poems seemed to just start flowing; I had to get them down on paper before I forgot something. I became a Christian at the age of thirteen, and I know God has always been with me through all the ups, downs, and disasters of my life. But until I started wanting a deeper relationship with Him, He was just there when I called, waiting on me to want to be closer to Him. I can truly say with confidence that the closer you get to God, the easier it is to deal with this life and all of its problems.

Satan is alive and well, but the finished work on the cross is Satan's defeat.

Be filled with the spirit of God. Jesus Christ desires for us to know Him. In life come circumstances, but Christ gives peace. Endless possibilities give us form of who we truly are to be. He desires us to be a child of God the Father. In our lives, we must be perceptive and can be infused abundantly with blessings from above. Jesus Christ is my King. Is Jesus your King

"As a gifted painter takes colors to create a beautiful picture, Paul Kurts does so with words to paint an inspiring work. We all can relate to the life experiences and memories about which Paul writes.  His excellent book, TRINITARIAN LETTERS, is another example of a gifted writer taking words we thought we knew the meanings of and opening up a new world of understanding.  These poems will uplift and inspire you as they did me."  Sonny Parsons, BA, MA. Mayor Big Sandy, Texas.

 

 

" Author Paul Kurts is not only an outstanding and gifted writer, but he has the unique ability to peer deeply into the heart and soul of people as God's creation and that we are all loved by Him.  In this inspiring book of poems he has put into poetic form many of the life experiences we all share in common."  Joe Johnson, LLB.

 

" These inspiring and emotionally uplifting poems reach deep into the life experiences we all have had.  They touch the heart and soul.  As in his previous book, TRINITARIAN LETTERS, Paul gives new meaning to old words with which we thought we were familiar and literally paints beautiful pictures with poetic w o r d s .
