In a time of moral drift, spiritual apathy, and personal pain, Words for a Wounded World offers a powerful invitation: return to the Word of God.In this Spirit-led collection, author and Biblical teacher Mark Richard weaves together sixteen Scripture-inspired poems that speak life into dark places. Each poem is grounded in the timeless truth of God's Word, accompanied by full biblical references, and deep devotional reflection questions-creating a rich three-part encounter with God's truth.These "hymn-like" poems were born in real moments of ministry-written for people facing doubt, anxiety, sickness, and sorrow. Now, they are offered to you-to awaken your soul, convict your heart, and strengthen your faith. What Others Say About This Book: I have had the privilege of knowing Mark for several years, and one quality shines above all the rest-his deep passion for Christ. He is a man who not only believes in the transforming power of God's Word but lives it out with discipline, humility, and conviction. That same passion and faith flow richly through the pages of Words for a Wounded World.This collection of Scripture-inspired poems is not just words on a page; it is an invitation to draw closer to the heart of God. Each poem serves as a pathway-guiding you into deeper faith, fortifying your spirit, and reminding you of God's unshakable love. As you read, take your time, linger in the truth, and allow the Spirit to minister to your soul.I believe this book will stand the test of time and become a source of encouragement and substance for many. It is a work that points people back to Christ, and in that way, it carries eternal value.--Paige Michael Williams, Teaching Pastor, Intersection Church, Prophet, Author of Lessons from Heaven, The Disciples Manual, and Prayer, Mysteries, and RelationshipAbout the Author: Mark Richard is a Christ-centered author and Bible teacher with a passion for proclaiming truth and grace about sexuality in a confused and broken world.
