I was gratified the other day to receive a wonderful review of my recently published Poetry Collection.
Astrid Lustulin says:
“Poetry is the best way for us to sing God’s praises because, through this literary genre, the message of gratitude and joy we send is uplifting and heartwarming. After much searching, I finally found a poetic collection that effectively conveys this message. If you, too, are looking for a great book inspired by one of the most precious things we have (our faith), I recommend reading Songs & Poems from a Yielded Heart by Judith Vander Wege. Here, the author presents many beautiful poems dedicated to God. Among them, you will find some based on the Psalms and others composed in song
form.
Songs & Poems from a Yielded Heart is a book that all believers will appreciate both for its message and for the wonderful way Judith Vander Wege conveys it. What struck me the most while reading was the sincere and spontaneous way the author expressed her feelings. You really feel her emotions as you read these lines, especially since the poems are written in a way that is easy to understand. Above all, the joy with which Vander Wege thanks God is infectious, and I must say that reading these poems has put me in a good mood and made me more optimistic. My hope is that many other readers will have the same experience as I did when reading this book.
I recommend Songs & Poems from a Yielded Heart to anyone who believes in God and wishes to feel closer to Him through the words and lines of another believer. It is an experience you will not regret.

Here is a sample of one of the songs from that book, which is called Songs and Poems From a Yielded Heart.
I Love You, LORD
I love you, Lord. You’re mine forever. You’re my Redeemer, King and Friend.
You’ve paid the price: Your blood has saved me. You gave me life that will never end.
You’ll never leave; you’ll hold me tight. The devil’s lost, you have won the fight.
What now my Lord? What shall I do to let you know how much I love you?
You gave me peace that I can’t fathom, an inner joy in the midst of pain.
I want to be Your chosen vessel. “To live is Christ and to die is gain.”
You’ll lead me on o’er land and sea. To be with you is where I want to be.
I love you, Lord. I’ll yield to you. A yielded life shows that I love you.
