Along Unfamiliar Paths
Ebook
Along Unfamiliar Paths is a therapeutic conversation about our perilous journey through life and all its uncertainties, with Christ as the healing agent. This book is for the imperfect people of the world, those who have deficits. It is for the parents who abandoned their children, the children who suffer from that abandonment, the husband and wife who do not love each other, the family that is divided, and the friends who have hurt and betrayed each other. Each poem is emulative of the conversations I have with my father--unhurried, non-judgmental, and refreshing in their blunt honesty, as coming from someone who genuinely cares. Overall, my hope is that the work nourishes your thoughts so you can heal your wounded heart.
“This most engaging and original collection of poetic writings by Austin L. Scott is a page-by-page, bountiful discovery of honesty, courage, Christian faith, lamentation, and hope. Lifted toward heaven, it appears to be a prayer; directed toward humanity, it seems to be rather a love song and, at the same time, a tolling bell. The collection urges the readers to take no credit for any wholeness which they may enjoy, and to set about doing the hard work of connecting boldly with their brokenness, whatever its nature and whatever its depth.”
—Carlton Long, Hampton University
“The poems in this book feed the soul and the spirit, touching the heart in such a way, that those who are truly seeking to grow closer to God definitely will. This book makes you conscious on so many different levels, enabling one to see the direction they should seek. It’s a book I found that awakens you.”
—Anderson Scott, poet
