SONGS IN THE NIGHT: Poetry For The Soul which spans an ordinary year in the life of the author, has struck a chord in many hearts as she explores the timeless themes of love, loss, joy and sorrow, with touching vulnerability and honesty, along with vivid imagery. Ana Lisa’s love of nature is evident in the beautiful photos of natural New Zealand accompanying her poetry which along with bible verses allow the book to be used as a devotional. The theme of the book follows the cycles of nature, the circular pattern of the day, the circle of the seasons, and the life cycle of humanity, which echoes the ‘gains and losses’ in our own lives, as we experience both joy and suffering. The book, while recognising pain is inevitable, rings with hope no matter the season in our lives, affirming that contentment is always possible because of the goodness of God.
