From daily text messages to a loved one battling addiction... grew this raw, redemptive collection of 77 poems.East of the Haw is a journey east of the river-through rock-bottom shame, spiritual storms, bankruptcy of the soul, and the fierce choice to love anyway. These verses began as private encouragements sent one by one, person by person, until they became a book of testimony: unfiltered, rhyming, sometimes hidden in acrostics, always pointing to grace.Here you'll find: - Urgent calls to forgive before tomorrow fails - Confessions of a past self-centered life burned away - Fragments of unfinished thoughts that still speak truth - Hidden messages that reveal "God is near" only when you reach the end - Repeated, stubborn declarations: It's not just words. It's the only way.William Thompson writes like a man who's been to the bottom and found solid ground on the other side. If you've ever felt lost in the mantle, dug in dirt, or simply needed reminding that another day is another chance to be great-this collection is for you."Do not fear-God is near."A debut born from struggle. Offered in hope.
