A Peculiar Treasure

God calls us to listen and to hear His voice. He asks for our love and our obedience. He seeks a relationship with us - a divine covenant. In return, He gives us the hope of eternal life and a place at the table with Him. He claims us as His "peculiar treasure". Audrey Murrell offers us a unique set of spirit-inspired poetry to serve as her witness to the love and mercy of Jesus the Christ. Her poems reflect her personal journey, but it is a journey that all believers will take as we seek to know and become closer to our Savior. Audrey offers these prayers and reflections as her testimony to what Christ can do in the lives of those who seek Him.
