The quality of the poetry was very poor and the messages conveyed within it distort the values attributed to the Christian faith.As a Christian myself I have always seen the faith as one that preaches tolerance and forgiveness of the sins of our foes etc. The messages conveyed by this collection of poems are contrary to Christian faith as they support the idea of revenge and the use of violence to convert non-Christians. These messages are somewhat decadent in that the idea of intolerance and violent conversion has long disappeared (since the crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries and Spanish conquests of Latin America in the 15th /16th century) from the faith.I concur with the first reviewer who stated that the standard of English used was very poor.I have to say that this book is best left on the shelf.
