In Him

In Him, titled after the exciting revelation in John 17:20-23 that we can be in Him, presents an inspiring collection of heartfelt poetry written by Mary Johnson at age ninety. Between the ages of eighty and ninety, she wrote three books, covering them lovingly with wallpaper, so she could give them freely to everyone. In Him is the last of her three books, though the first to be published in Marys memory by her children. Praising Him will be published soon, then Just Meditating. Marys poetry shares her personal relationship with her Savior. Some poems simply give praise to the Lord. Many poems speak of Jesus cruel death on the cross. She told of looking forward to heaven and of being sure you are going there. She gave glory to God who created man and our miraculous bodies. She examines prophecies regarding the end times, always pointing to the Bible and Jesus example for our lives. Her lifetime of Bible study and love of the Scripture is evident in her poetry. Through this knowledge, she referenced her poetry to the passage that inspired it. Marys faith and dedication to her Savior was demonstrated through her life of service and giving to others. Her life was an inspiration to her family, her numerous church friends and her community. Her family is blessed to be able to share their mothers gift of poetry with you.
