Glorifying God, Centered in Christ, Stepping with the Spirit

“I really appreciate the way Edwin weaves his thoughts and encounters with God through a solid theological framework to create these poetic expressions. The honesty and vulnerability of ‘Sometimes,’ the rawness and realness of ‘Heartache,’ and the hope and assurance of ‘The God Who Acts’ bring fresh insights on life and the God calling us into relationship with him.”


—Andrew Marshall, National Director, Alliance Churches of New Zealand


 


“Reading Edwin’s poems is like being cleansed by living waters. . . . Edwin’s openness in sharing his personal vulnerabilities and struggles, his desire to honor and glorify God, and his commitment to follow Jesus highlight his personal spiritual growth. Edwin’s poems are a treasure, a voice of victory, containing hope and light through brokenness, with impacts to both the heavenly and earthly realms.”


—David Nuualiitia and Grace Chan-Nuualiitia, co-founders of Grace Arise Ministries New Zealand





“In each of Edwin’s poems is a kernel of truth we can relate to, that our heart reflects and enjoys, creating a book we delight to read again and again. For me Holy Spirit speaks through every poem even though they differ in style from sad to humorous. Like all good books of poetry some poems end up becoming firm favorites, part of our reflections and conclusions, part of us.”


—Charmaine Reynolds





“Not everyone knows how to express emotions. Some Christians choose to ignore our feelings even when we pray. We refer them to the Psalms. Reading them heals emotional numbness. I wonder why God didn’t include another 150 in the New Testament. Edwin strives to know God and through that he knows himself. And God lets him write down his thoughts. Enjoy the poems of the good news.”


—Derek Lee, English Pastor of Chinese Alliance Christian Church, New Zealand
