Can we feel God’s heart and pain? In our homes and at our tables, Are we able to raise up an Abel While others keep on raising Cain? Ed Riederich is a man of faith who believes it is time to call our nation back to God. In a debut collection of patriotic poetry, Riederich lyrically reflects on why it is more important than ever to stand for liberty and freedom, and pray for our broken land. He has a gift for bringing a sense of levity to serious issues and provoking thought through wise critique. Within rhyming verse inspired by biblical and historical influences as well as current and past societal challenges, Riederich explores a variety of subjects that include the global pandemic, a squirrel on the patio with an interesting perspective, a city sadly besieged by the homeless, a prayer that changed the wind, sermons that lack conviction, and the deliverance God will send. Rhymes of the Times is a volume of poems that vividly expresses a Christian’s view on the past, present, and future issues of the world.

Signs of the Times is good clean-or not so clean-fun in two ways. It's a joy to be reintroduced to so many dearly loved and justly renowned nursery rhymes, long after their sparkle and pungency may have faded from adult memory. It's also fun to see what an informed and somewhat sardonic modern sensibility makes of them anew in the context of these times we are all now living through. -Bruce Bennett, Emeritus Professor of English, Wells College Colin McNairn is clearly having fun as he rewrites nursery rhymes to comment on the wider world. With jabs and plentiful jokes ("hickory, dickory, daiquiri"), he happily draws readers into his imaginative wordsmithery. -Warren Clements, Author, The Nestlings Press Book of Fairy Tales in Verse If Mother Goose were writing her nursery rhymes to-day, she would no doubt burnish her MeToo credentials by condemning Georgie Porgie for kissing the girls and making them cry, have Billy Boy, a.k.a. Charming Billy, look for a wife online rather than by pursuing a ground game; warn us against catching a tiger by the toe, given the dangers of nail fungus; and recognize a twinkle, twinkle in the night sky as more likely to evidence a drone rather than a star. These are among the revisionist scenarios portrayed in the 70 plus mature verses in this collection, all of which have been inspired, to some extent, by traditional nursery rhymes. The subject matter of the verses ranges widely and includes, politics, language, the law, dating and mating, social behavior, food and drink, health, sports, commerce, technology, travel, and the natural environment.

Rhymes for Doing Time provides a unique opportunity to use real-life situations that come up every day in prison or upon release--to help a prisoner develop a closer walk with God and to make their time easier, knowing that they may be just an inmate to the guards or even to the world, but they are or can become a child of the Most High God! The book has a page for every day and is formatted so that it describes a situation that happened to a prisoner, describing how he or she reacted to different situations that came up. Then it shows a situation that happened to a person or persons in the Bible, and then it draws a practical or a spiritual application between the two. It gives people a chance to realize that the Bible is living and practical, and it shows them that the same God back in Bible times hasn't changed one bit! The book also has inspirational poems that were written by the author to uplift his friends. They are perfect for prisoners to send to their families in cards and letters for everything from birthdays to holidays.
