Publisher's Description
To Every Thing There Is a Season is a collection of original poetry that draws inspiration from Nature and Christian faith. Often these themes combine as the author reflects on the relation of Nature to its Creator or joins with Creation in praising God. The poems are divided into four sections, each dedicated to a season of the year--spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In addition to poems investigating the particular joys of the season, each section also includes poems on the Christian holidays celebrated during that season. With poems ranging from serious to humorous, challenging to delightful, this collection offers opportunities for reflection and relaxation.

“Rich in symbolism, Hopgood’s book of poems stirs the heart and challenges the mind to see the deeper meanings within her beautifully written word pictures. It is a delight to read for both the novice as well as the seasoned lover of poetry.”
“To Every Thing There Is a Season is a timeless, excellent piece of Christian literature that not only has a natural flow but resonates directly with the reader. Each season is vividly expressed, as well as being divinely supplemented with references to God’s true power and virtue. The way Hopgood ties together divine nature and nature itself is refreshing and 100 percent worth the read.”
“This poetry book is a commemoration of the seasons and both records and experiences the passage of time. Each season has a different relationship with our sensations. To Every Thing There Is a Season deals with many beautiful thoughts at once, expressing how eternal love for God overcomes time and space. The poetry revolves around harmony within each season, while the content is suitably motivating. It includes topics such as reflecting on charity, facing challenges, enjoying being yourself, and giving your best. Through his poems, H. A. Hopgood expresses feelings of love. Some are dedicated to the family and much affection is embodied in them, along with goodwill to others. To Every Thing There Is a Season is a charming book, with a warm and loving tone and excellent poetry. We can use this to find peace in ourselves through prayer. Its words encourage us to be thankful and seek unity with God and with everything He gives us through our daily experiences. Nature, the Psalms, and the lessons of the Bible will always be a magnificent inspiration for poets because the content is pure, natural, and full of meaning. H. A. Hopgood's style of poetry is muted and I liked the general concept. His advice is to put aside problems and give yourself a moment to enjoy the peace away from the stress of daily routines. The book was significant to me, as it seeks to feed our souls because that is the only thing that will prevail.”
