When Kim Longstreet was six years old, she had a conversation with God. She had already experienced years of tragedy and abuse at that young age, and she would continue to until she was an adult. She was comforted by the words she heard from God that day: “trust me and you will find out what it is all for.” She knew then that she had a purpose and that she would one day bring inspiration to others who were struggling. Years later, on January 3, 2004, her thirty-sixth birthday, she suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to write an urge she had been feeling for a long time. She put pen to paper and began to craft what she called “Life’s Holy Rhymes,” a collection of teachings about finding your soul and trusting a higher power. After a full year, she had finished the book. However, the manuscript sat on a shelf until 2022, when another clear message came to her: it was finally time to publish. This book comes directly from Kim’s connection to her higher power and is for truth-seekers, spiritual seekers, and atheists alike. There is something for everyone in this wise and heart-filled collection, which will give hope and encouragement to people at this challenging time in our world.
