Description
Ode to Jesus Christ is a three volume set of poetry books totaling 560 poems in all, authored by Darl Dinger and his friend, Louise Carter, over the past 36 years. Anyone paying attention today can see that many things are not right with our world today. Our world is ruled by lies, greed, endless corruption, wickedness and sin. These two poets make sense out of this unusual era in all of world history known as the great tribulation in end times of Bible prophecy. They offer solace, wisdom and healing solutions for those struggling to make sense out of our world gone mad. This volume, Volume Two, contains yet another 185 poems touching on man's sinful nature, our shared and desperate need for a savior from ourselves, and the healing that only comes from genuine confession, repentance and a turning away from the wrongs we have done to others that inevitably result in broken relationships, loneliness and pain in our lives. The path to healing and eternal life only comes through faith (trust) in Jesus Christ, the son of God, who came to earth to testify to the truth and to pay the price we all deserve to pay for our sinful ways so that those of us who can and who do, might live in right relationship with God forever in a new earth free from sin and pain. These poets repeatedly point the way to life's wisdom through reading and obedience to the commandments of God's word, the Bible, in its entirety. Listen to these wise, humble and godly sages whose poems talk to our hearts. Hear Darl's Holy Spirit-inspired warnings of a watchman on the wall that while we still have time to turn to Christ as lord and savior over our wills and our lives, that time is now very short. Time is swiftly running out.

Darl Dinger was born on July 9, 1937 in Annapolis, Ohio. He served in the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1977, retiring as a Sargent First Class, having served in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969. He subsequently earned his bachelor's degree in law enforcement and security from Jefferson Technical College, graduating first in his class and cum laude, and went on to serve as a police officer and deputy sheriff for twelve years thereafter. He accepted Jesus Christ and was born again in November of 1982. Shortly after Darl accepted Christ into his life, God's Holy Spirit began to inspire him to write poetry concerning his Christian faith and life. Today, Darl takes care of his wife, Barbara who is on dialysis in their home in East Springfield, Ohio. Louise Carter was born February 28, 1926 in Gem, West Virginia, and died on July 24, 2014. She served as a nurse's assistant at Ohio Valley Hospital and Nursing Home for a number of years and was married and raised several stepchildren. Darl and Louise met in church a number of years ago and became friends when they discovered that they shared a common interest in writing poetry regarding their shared Biblical Christian faith. Darl and his wife, Barbara, cared for Louise for the last ten years of her life. Louise always told Darl that someday he would have a book of his poetry published and she asked him to include some of her poems in it. Darl promised he would. But frankly, Darl never dreamed he would have a book published. Today, that dream of Darl's and Louise's is a reality.
