Praise for
YOUR GIFT OF GRACE "Tom Janicik's poetry
brings you deep into your soul in ways that make sense to the Christian
sojourner. He illuminates the ordinary and the common with God's light
and everyday wisdom. Read one poem every day and your world will be
brighter." Richard P.
Johnson, Ph.D. Author, Body, Mind,
Spirit: Tapping into the Healing Power Within "The depth of feeling
in Tom Janicik's work is apparent, as is his dedication to Spirit. This
lovingly crafted book is a collection of prayers as much as it is a
collection of poems—and a personal testament by
its author." Major
Label Recording Artist, Singer-Songwriter and Author, Sweetest & The
Meanest “What a journey! Tom’s book of poetry took me through the
entire life cycle of a Christian, chronicling the ups and downs, the
struggles and triumphs, the valleys and mountains. I felt the hopelessness and helplessness as
I read about him crying out to God, asking for His guidance and help. But, just as powerfully, I could see him
gaining strength as he exercised his faith in Him. Thank you for baring your soul and putting
into words what we all feel from time to time and reminding us that, in our
times of weakness, He is our strength.” Scooter Simmons Singer-Songwriter |
