"The Destination Is God's Gift and So Is the Journey" from Christian Faith Publishing authors Eli Boone and Robert E. Dixon is a probing collection of poems, each prefaced by a devotional and a Bible verse and conveying the innermost movements of a soul that has intimately known loss, loneliness, and a profound spiritual hunger while encountering the nourishing salvation of God's love with a life-changing intensity.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Destination Is God's Gift and So Is the Journey": a moving poetry devotional. "The Destination Is God's Gift and So Is the Journey" is the creation of published authors Eli Boone, a road construction worker with a poet's heart, and Robert E. Dixon, a retired insurance agent and former minister with a Bible college graduate's eye for truth.
Boone writes in the piece "Just to Hear":
"Searching through my pockets
For a quarter for the phone
Wish I could talk to someone
I'm feeling so alone
Just to hear a voice
You know I'd feel okay
But I spent my last red penny
Now that feeling's here to stay.
If standing on the outside is all there is for me
I'd rather stay out here, where at least I feel I'm free.
Standing by a payphone
Wishing it would ring
So I could hear a human voice
Tell me anything
More than any words
I would hear them say
Just to hear, 'How are ya?'
You know I'd feel okay.
If standing on the outside is all there is for me
I'd rather stay out here, it's made just for me.
Now I ain't got a nickel
That phone ain't gonna ring
But someone scratched 'God loves ya'
On the wall where I lean
They even left a number
I can call for hope
'Cause anything sounds good
At the end of my rope.
Inside I feel a glimmer, I think there's something there
If I call that number, will they really care?"
