New Book of Poetry GUIDED BY SPIRIT is Released

Helen VanEck Holub's new book, Guided by the Spirit ($14.99, paperback, 9781602668713) is a book of inspirational Christian poetry and short stories citing various Psalms. It offers comfort and warmth to those who need it, citing ways in which God guides and loves us all. Inspiring to readers who may wish to also write poetry or love the Lord, especially those who have been through some kind of sorrow in their lives and need consolation.

Helen VanEck Holub says, "I believe my book has been a tremendous assistance to many who I have met in hospitals or in everyday life because they have told me so, many times. We need guidance and love in our lives and I have tried hard to provide that which God has given me throughout my life. God is love and offers us hope and peacesomething we all need in the world now. It was written at a time when I had just lost our son and a daughter, previously to his death. I would hope that in writing my feelings about my own sorrow, it would help others."

Helen VanEck Holub has written poetry since she was a young child, and is related to John Greenleaf Whittier on her mother's side of the family. She feels that the love and comfort she has to give through her writing, with God's help, has been crucial. Holub has been literally saved from death at least 3 times, and she knows that Jesus has been there beside her. She also took courses from "Writing for Children" and learned much from that. However, she feels that she was 'guided by the Spirit' when she wrote her book, thus, the title.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 12,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Guided by the Spirit through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
