Mus. D. Professor of Music\/Director of Choral Studies\/Chapel Cantor, Concordia University, St. Paul ~ ~ ~ I saw Him in times of loneliness right there beside me, amidst darkness, comforting me with His gentle words- words of truth I read in the Bible, which held me up and sustained me. I know this for sure, not by ignorance but because of little thing called faith.\" Faru K. Gudina has a deep faith in God that was handed down to her from two generations of believers. In a debut collection of poems, she addresses a variety of topics that include nature, social justice, and her unique coming-of-age journey from girlhood to adolescence and beyond. Within her diverse verse, she lyrically explores butterflies and bees, kisses, sparkling and glittery stars, evil spirits, a merciless past, the night Christ was born, better tomorrows, and much more. I Knew Deep Down is a volume of moving poetry that shares insight into an Ethiopian girl's coming-of-age journey as she reflects on her life, her faith, and the world around her.","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48532338016497,"sku":"9781664293281","price":13.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781664293281_p0.jpg?v=1786313053","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781664293281","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
