"Eternal not Immortal-Prayers, poems and promises for the journey of life", Is a joint collaboration of two authors who have yet to meet! Authors Robert B. Moreland and Karen M. Miner came to know each other through an internet poetry group. While their poetry was distinctly their own, each felt a kindred spirit at work. Through Karen's poems Bob discovered she had breast cancer. Through Bob's poems Karen discovered he had confronted very real "mortal" tests of his own. As Karen pondered her mortality through poetry, Bob was determined to not let her "published" legacy be her obituary. This began a spiritual and poetic journey. Together in spirit, these authors, guided by the elusive, capricious muse, collaborated to reach out to each of you who have been buffeted by life's storms. We believe that God's loving and all powerful hand is always upon us. It is with His grace and wisdom that every person traverses the path of mortal life to arrive triumphantly to dine at the banquet and dance in the fields of life eternal!

In this moving collection of over 110 poems, the authors write about things familiar to each of us. A special friend, a favorite spot, a lost loved one, an unexpected challenge. They write also about love, marriage and fellowship-and ultimately about mortality and eternity. It is with great hope that they offer this work to all who seek comfort. You will find opportunities to explore the healing power of faith. You will be reminded throughout that while none of us is immortal-in Christ's love we all have the awesome opportunity to be eternal! Rest awhile with these words! Feel the emotions of life! Embrace for a moment the miracle of faith!
