Horse Sense-Insight For Today’s World
New book of poetry
makes spiritual connections with today’s world
For author David J. Shrewsbury,
good “horse sense” means a life lived through the principles
taught in the Bible. Thus his latest work, Horse Sense: Insight
for Today’s World, brings to the world of literature a volume
of poetry that is heartfelt, humorous, political, and
“miraculous”—poems born of the heart’s experience and inspired by
biblical teachings. “I write about God’s Love,” he says, “and the
possibilities of a wonderful world by and through the Word of God.
Horse Sense: Insight for Today’s World
shows that God through His Spirit
is a reality in our existence.”
Shrewsbury was a single parent and
the father of two young boys when he was diagnosed with stage four
(end stage) liver disease.
While going through a workup for surgery, doctors decided that he
would never survive a transplant.
Shrewsbury
was given six months to a year to live and told to put his affairs
in order. “This brought me to my knees day and night,” he says,
“trying everything I had learned in the Bible to get God’s
attention to extend my life.”
Nine years later, Shrewsbury is
living proof of the redemptive power of faith. “We
can never tell or convince God to give us a miracle,” he says,
“but I want you to know that I am a true receiver of one.
For the first time in
thirty years I have near normal blood values and no heart
problems, and I am completely off of heart medication. I have gone
from sitting in a chair to playing golf, bowling, and motorcycle
riding. I am now remarried. I am like Job in the Bible who had
everything taken away and then restored to him by God.”
David J. Shrewsbury’s first book
Getting A Miracle – Light Covering Darkness won the “Best
Unique Devotional 2006” award. Shrewsbury, who is in the top five
poets on the World of Poets website, recently won the best
reviewer award. His poem “Creatvolution” introduces the workbook
for the Creation Seminar Video Series of creation scientist Russ
Miller. Shrewsbury’s poems can be found in a number of published
anthologies, including God’s Rainbow Book, which was given
to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. He is also listed as a Poet
Laureate on Poets.com.
