Can we feel God’s heart and pain?In our homes and at our tables,Are we able to raise up an AbelWhile others keep on raising Cain? Ed Riederich is a man of faith who believes it is time to call our nation back to God. In a debut collection of patriotic poetry, Riederich lyrically reflects on why it is more important than ever to stand for liberty and freedom, and pray for our broken land. He has a gift for bringing a sense of levity to serious issues and provoking thought through wise critique. Within rhyming verse inspired by biblical and historical influences as well as current and past societal challenges, Riederich explores a variety of subjects that include the global pandemic, a squirrel on the patio with an interesting perspective, a city sadly besieged by the homeless, a prayer that changed the wind, sermons that lack conviction, and the deliverance God will send. Rhymes of the Times is a volume of poems that vividly expresses a Christian’s view on the past, present, and future issues of the world.
