This book, Beacon of Hope, is compiled of inspirational poetry and other works. Its contents have transpired over a period of years. At different intervals in life, a poem would be birthed as inspiration brought it forth. The purpose of this book is to fulfill a longtime dream of the author, Jan Wheeler, who at an early age, recognized that God had blessed her with talent. This talent was in the writing down of her thoughts...creating poetry. She believes that by divine instruction from God, the publication and circulation of this material, through it's simplicity, will minister to others, as well as give a greater understanding of God and His purpose for all human kind. Although small in content, there's a treasure trough of truths wrapped in this small package. The author's hope is that all who read it will receive a bounty of enjoyment and that they may compare some of the instances to their own lives.
