Poems of Faith, Love and Compassion

In this book, the author has drawn inspiration from major global events to personal life experiences, to produce a beautiful and sensitive collection of poetry and prayer.

The collection includes work written in response to events as they unfolded over several years with the result that the words speak intimately to the reader and accurately reflect the human emotions experienced by us all when witnessing human tragedy or natural miracles.

Throughout the book, the author offers to God her thankfulness, hopelessness, of joyfulness with the result that the book becomes an expression of hope for all to share.

All profits made from this book are donated to Tearfund and East Anglia's Children's Hospices.

In His Hands

This is Elaine Coltham's second collection following on from her successful book 'Poems of Faith, Love and Compassion'.

Inside 'In His Hands' you will discover 16 new poems together with individual introductions to each one to describe the author's inspiration. Her sensitivity will draw a universal appeal to all who share a love of God and also serve to witness to those still seeking to find God within their own hearts.

For every copy sold, £2.00 will be donated to the work of the Salvation Army.

Auntie Relda's Journey

Just sometimes you need a recipe for a little miracle...

Take one victim and one bully.
Add much fear, a beaten face
and memories of a distant family.
Mix in large amounts
of love and determination
to change a young boy's life.
Add premier footballers and the excitement
of a journey where unlikely dreams
could become a reality.

And then add the final ingredient.....
Auntie Relda.

Shining Like Stars

"Shining Like Stars" is an upside down poetry book with 20 poems in total written by me. Some are Christian poems and then when the book is turned upside down, it is a book with children's poetry. It contains many illustrations and personal introductions by me to share my inspirations behind each poem.

For every copy sold £3.00 will be donated to Tearfund.

"It is appropriate that the proceeds from the sale of this book, featuring poetry for children alongside poetry for Christians, should go to benefit Tearfund's 'Work a Miracle' campaign which so importantly brings the work of preventing HIV in children to the attention of the church. Her writing captures the human faces and consequences of suffering. It is these faces that God sees alongside our own. If this is how God sees, so should we see likewise."
