Monthly Stimulants Volume 1

Contemplative thoughts accompany one poem for each month of the year as a help in personal meditations. This volume was compiled in 2000 and updated 21 years later as an e-book. Teachers, inspirational speakers and preachers will find this helpful in preparing to speak on certain seasons, scriptures, and spiritual insights. Mark Turner sent a poem-a-month to his email list from Summer 1997 to Spring 2009. After the first two years he did a limited printing of selections before e-readers were common. This e-book updates the commentary slightly but retains the original poems. In those years most of his inspiration was rooted in scripture and he identified the Bible references by book, chapter and verse after each poem. The volume gave an added service of a scripture index to aid in finding the poem which refers to a particular scripture. Now the e-book links each index reference back to its poem.
