THE LOVE OF THE HEART: A Collection of Poems of Encouragement
This book contains poems written during late 2015 through mid-2016. Like my previous five books, the title includes the word “heart”. I chose this word because it serves our minds as a filtering device which is capable of purifying our thoughts. With our gift of free choice we can learn to employ our heart to cleanse and focus our thoughts constructively while adding a large dose of love and mutual respect.
From a spiritual viewpoint the mind desires to be plugged in so it can be connected to the indwelling spirit. When we enter into the spiritual kingdom God brings us to himself where we can love and where we can put our life in something that will last.
The poems in this book can be read in any order the reader chooses. Each poem is a stand-alone glimpse through a moment in time as I have observed it. My hope is that each of us can learn to love one another, as God has loved us.
With love and hope,
James P. Robson

THE MAKING OF A LLAMA FAMILY chronicles a couple’s 26-year odyssey with their Llamas, first at their farm in North Carolina and later at their ranch in southwestern Virginia.

The author recounts the tale of moving to their current Virginia property in 1996 and creating a Llama ranch from a blank canvas.
The couple lived for several weeks in their van while their barn was being built and then, while their house was being constructed, they lived with their Llamas in the barn. Key to the story is how the couple interacted with the Llamas while sharing the barn with them, and how both humans and animals remain today as one family unit.

The Making of a Man of Faith
By Dale Heil
This book contains a study of the life of Abraham, whom the New Testament declares to be the father of faith. New Testament believers are also said to have the faith of Abraham. However, when scripture first introduces us to Abraham, he is not a man of great man faith. A careful study reveals how God worked in his life to make him into the great man of faith he became. This is very relevant as God works in every person’s life in much the same way; we just need to recognize it. Even though every person’s life is different, God’s proven methods work the same.
Dale Heil, the author of this book, has spent over thirty years diligently studying God’s Word. He spent several years in prison where he came to know the Lord, and developed a great love for God’s Word. His ministry started by teaching bible studies to other inmates, and has flourished from there. He eventually felt led by God’s Spirit to write down all that God has been teaching him over the years. This book is one of several that he has written as a result.
