Before the Foundation of the World examines the nature of good and evil in God's creation. Using poetry and song lyrics, this collection offers a celebration of joy in response to God's covenant with man. From Christmas poems to simple lullabies, the author paints a vivid picture of the incredible experience of wonder in a world of God's design. An extended exchange in Appendix I with "The Father of Lies" ("Pater Mendaciorum") and the promises of Christian faith reflects our reconciliation with God and explores the redemption of mankind in the face of radical evil. Journeying from the psychology of evil to the good news of the spirit, Before the Foundation of the World speaks to the ways of God, embodying gratitude and love as the foundation for mature Christian belief.
